Barefooting 101
Barefooting 101 is a three week semiprivate barefoot water skiing program. It is designed for kids ages 10 to 16 that want to learn the thrill of barefoot water skiing while spending time in the positive youth building environment of Catfish Bay. Your child will be trained by the world class water skiers and mentors from Catfish Bay. Many parents like the time kids spend on the water but the love the positive impact our skiing leaders have on their kids off the the water.
Your child will progressively learn the fundamentals of barefoot water skiing with our boom system next to the boat. Depending on your child’s skill level they will work on the following barefoot water skiing skills: Boom barefooting, stepping off a slalom ski, deep water starts and more.
Prerequisite Skills
Your child must have intermediate slalom skills that include consistently getting up alone and crossing the wake behind a boat on a slalom ski. It is recommended that kids start with our other programs like Camp OnAqua, Camp Water Sports U and Water Skiing 201 first if they do not have these skills.
All needed safety and water skiing equipment is provided. Barefooting 101 has limited space available and sign up is on a first come first serve basis.
Water Sports U dates and registration will open in the Spring of 2026. To be placed on a a mailing list to get a notified when 2026 registration opens please email: CampOnAqua@CatfishBay.com
