  Backwards Barefooting Miracles
  
  "Become a possibilitarian. No matter how dark things seem to
  be or actually are, raise your sights and see possibilities-
  always see them, for they are always there."
  
  -Norman Vincent Peale
  
  Can you think of a better way to start a great adventure
  than with the advice of Norman Vincent Peale?
  
  In many ways, their advice is very pertinent! Even after you
  make that decision to learn to backwards barefoot, you need
  a game plan to get an unfair advantage in the learning
  process!
  
  The funny part is that with the new technology and improved
  teaching techniques, you can actually learn this in a single
  day!
  
  Imagine starting out this process in the morning and you are
  not even close...
  
  but by the end of the day, you are backwards barefooting!
  
  I watched this happen just yesterday as two new students
  never practiced the steps I a about to outline for you, but
  showed up for a lesson. 5 minutes into the lesson, they
  realized that they could have dramatically improved the
  learning process by taking seriously the info I am about to
  reveal to you for free...
  
  YOU must take the first step by doing what you know is right
  (Confucius). Before reaching this place of ecstasy, we will
  certainly be interrupted by some form of discouragement or
  distraction. It is then that I must remind and encourage you
  that I am 100% confident of YOUR (that means you) success!
  
  All you have to do now is agree with me that WE will make it
  there! So let us take one more baby step in this direction
  choosing to focus on the possibilities and not the
  distractions.
  
  Now how can we focus the power of these warm fuzzy thoughts
  in the specifics of learning your first backwards deep-water
  start? First of all, let me let you in on a little secret
  that should dissolve a lot of myths about going backwards.
  
  If you had never barefooted before in your life, and you
  came down to ski for three days with me personally in
  paradise, I would spend the entire first day helping you to
  learn to barefoot forwards.
  
  On the very next day, I would begin to mix in teaching you
  the joys of learning to backwards barefoot! It is much like
  learning a second language. If you start early, it becomes
  second nature. When I begin this process, any fears are
  melted away and replaced with the kind of excitement that
  many have forgotten!
  
  How can you get in on the fun? Realize that learning to go
  backwards requires baby steps that must be taken carefully
  and with a lot of patience and understanding!
  
  These baby steps are grouped into three stages; Learning to
  Plane, Learning to Plant, and The Power Band©. I am
  including a free video explaining how to get properly set-up
  for stage #1 at

  note: If you want to jump ahead of everybody else and get an
  unfair advantage, then get my 2 hour instructional DVD which
  comes with a guarantee that it is the best instructional DVD
  of any you have ever seen or it is free at

  What I like to do to keep things in perspective is to put
  you in the correct position for backwards barefooting while
  on dry land first! Watch the video above to see how you can
  practice the proper foot position right NOW.
  
  This will give you a mental image of where we want to go
  while starting to build the muscle memory you will need to
  be a great backwards barefooter (do not laugh, I know you
  will be great!).
  
  Practice the following right now;
  
  Start by standing up straight with your feet shoulder width
  apart and parallel.
  
  Now roll your shoulders back so your shoulder blades are
  scrunching together. Lift your rib cage as high as possible
  and arch your low back. This should put your chest further
  forward than your shoulders and you should feel like you are
  puffed-up and standing at attention.
  
  Next, push your butt out as you bend over. Simultaneously
  squat by bending your knees just a little less than the kind
  of bend you would have sitting in a chair. Create a
  ninety-degree bend at your waist so that you could hold a
  ski handle between your hip and the top of your quadriceps.
  
  Your shoulders and head should be higher than your butt.
  
  Rest your hands on the top of your butt with palms and
  elbows pointed upward. If you can accomplish all this
  without losing the upper body posture, then you have
  accomplished The Power Band©.
  
  Keep practicing this position over and over again so that
  you build up your familiarity with it.
  
  Now that you know what the final backwards ski position will
  look like, lets get into the first of the three stages.
  
  Learning to Plane
  
  Float on your back like you would do for a front deep-water
  start. Place the handle between your legs and reach behind
  your knees to grab it with both hands.
  
  Hook one of your ankles under the rope, take a deep breath,
  and roll over while keeping your arms, legs, and upper body
  straight.
  
  The tendency here is to try to arch your back and keep your
  head out of water, but that will not lead to a good plane!
  You should practice this with the rope tight, but without
  acceleration until you feel comfortable. Do not push down on
  the rope with your legs after you roll over! I prefer that
  you keep only one ankle on the rope with the other one next
  to it, but not on it.
  
  Equipment Recommendation; This will be much easier to learn
  on a bare foot boom, but is the same technique used for the
  long-line.
  
  I like to have the bare foot boom at about shoulder to head
  height of the skier (once the boat is on plane). To use the
  boom this high, I like to use a 2-foot extension (a 5 foot
  handle plus a two foot rope extension) which keeps the skier
  from being pulled out of position.
  
  I also recommend a 15-inch barefoot slalom handle. For the
  guys, I highly recommend a barefoot cup barefoot cup!
  
  A good barefoot wetsuit is a must. If you have a barefoot
  dry-suit, it is even easier to learn this start as long as
  you wear your wetsuit underneath.
  
  Although I use Puppy Paws™, many times for people who have
  problems, I believe it is best to start learning stages one
  and two without them. There will definitely be a place and
  time for switching to the Puppy Paws, but do not start with
  them.
  
  If you are on the long-line, I highly recommend an
  extended pylon or universal tower, or the ultimate set-up,
  the Super Fly High which extends the pull of the rope up to
  14 feet off of the water!

  When you are ready to try this, make sure you take a deep
  breath (you should only have to hold it for 3 seconds), and
  roll over.
  
  The driver should accelerate firmly to 8-10 miles an hour.
  The best way to get this critical speed right for your size
  and weight is to have the driver watch to make sure that
  water is shooting-up like a fountain between your legs.
  
  If it is drooling over your back, then you are not going to
  be able to breath! If there is no water in between your legs
  then the driver is going too fast or the boom is too high!
  The water should be breaking right at your barefoot cup
  (for the guys).
  
  Also, keep your chest against the water. If you lift it up,
  you will bounce out of control. This is lots of fun for the
  observers' entertainment factor, but is not fun for you.
  
  After you are able to breathe (yes, I said breathe), and
  feel comfortable in this position, you are ready to move
  into stage two.

  Planting Your Feet
  
  Let me know if this is helping you! I am expecting great
  things for your barefooting...
