HISTORY
In 1971, the British Barefoot Club was officially formed by the British Water Ski Federation. Before that, barefooting in the UK was a rare and elitist art, mostly seen as demonstrations during classic water ski tournaments. Prominent amongst the pioneers was Charles Ramsey, a KLM airline pilot, who won the first ever competition held in Europe, on August 11th, 1968.
A team from Great Britain entered the first World Barefoot Championships in 1978, finishing in fourth place. The Open Barefoot Team won Gold in 1976, 1978 – 1991, 1995, 2004 – 2010. The Junior Team won Gold 1992 – 1994, 1997, 2001, 2003 – 2006, 2010 and 2011. The British Senior Team won Gold in 2010.
David Small won his first Gold in 1999 (junior overall) and has continued to win many Gold medals since. David has won 19 Open World Champion titles and 18 Region EA Open titles including 5 overall.
Chris Harris was the Start methods & Slalom world record breaker in 1982.
Mike Thomas is a 13 times National Champion including 3 overall.
