From the early days of the first fleet to modern times of marsupial mail delivery, the Australia Spirit is alive and well in our Barefoot Team. Australia’s hard working athletes are some of the best in the world and come out of winter with determination, and excitement, ready for fierce competition but also some good friendly fun and great times with a bunch of new skiers along for the ride to. We look forward to great competition with our barefoot Friends and Family.

Their aim is to provide the opportunity to experience barefoot waterskiing in a family friendly environment where every-one can participate in some way, whether it be by skiing, judging, scoring or boat driving.
Coaching clinics and development days with world class coaches are offered regularly throughout Australia. They actively mentor their members in a variety of ways and not just skiing. They have world accredited coaches, judges, scorers and drivers.
Participation in local tournaments, State and Australian Championships provides a world ranking in barefoot waterskiing. Many of their skiers then go on to compete and officiate at World Championships with great success.
