The Footer's Edge Barefoot Boom: Now Teaching Everyone from Four Years Old to 400 Pounds How to Water Ski, Barefoot Water Ski, and Wakeboard

WINTER HAVEN, Fla., July 22, 2013 /PRNewswire-iReach/ -- The Footer's Edge's Barefoot International Boom is the hottest answer for beginners trying to learn how to stand or to get up on standard combo water skis, slalom skis, or kneeboards or to learn how to barefoot water ski or wakeboard. "We can teach anyone from four years old to 400 pounds," boasts Footer's Edge president Lane "Dawg" Bowers, who began manufacturing booms in 1983 as his trademark method to teach beginners to ski. Since that time, he has developed the most durable and effective boom on the market.

The Footer's Edge offers one-on-one personal instruction at its Winter Haven headquarters and has a series of step-by-step videos that can rapidly turn any novice into a confident water skier without falling down with the Barefoot International Boom. "Beginners can expect a miracle when they use our barefoot boom," Bowers says of the product that he has used to teach celebrities such as Mitt Romney and Tony Robbins in no time. "Anyone can learn to ski in an hour at speeds slower than they ever imagined."

The Footer's Edge's barefoot boom is the fastest and safest way to get anyone in the family up on skis in a matter of minutes and to build their confidence and abilities. TheBarefoot International Boom is the most ruggedly, yet lightweight, constructed boom device on the market. Extending from the side of the boat, instead of behind it like a tow rope, the device allows first time learning skiers to glide along, side-by-side with a parent or instructor, who can easy talk to them as they move along the water, even at idle speeds. Using the boom allows the new skier to stand with solid support and no fear of falling. Soon he or she is ready to move on to full-on skiing with all of the skills and confidence needed to enjoy the thrill of water skiing, barefoot skiing, wake boarding, or knee boarding.

The Footer's Edge guarantees that the Barefoot International Boom is the world's best barefoot water skiing boom sold anywhere, at the best price, and further guarantees that it will fit their customer's boats – or they will buy it back.  The Footer's Edge's product line goes far beyond training novices to ski. They are also the number one manufacturer of heavy duty, ultra competition level barefoot booms and other equipment.

Maximum safety is the watchword for Footer's Edge, and their booms are the strongest, most durable on the waterways. While many believe that light-weight is a quality to look for in a barefoot boom, The Footer's Edge insists that customers should look for alternatives to lighter products made of hollow tubing. The Barefoot International Boom is made with solid aircraft aluminum, which enables them to stand up the tremendous pressures encountered when they are used for teaching. Solid booms provide maximum safety with their far superior strength, and they do not spring back drastically when a larger person performing advanced barefooting techniques falls.

As an added safety feature, The Footer's Edge outfits its booms with two cables, instead of the customary single cable used on less secure products sold on the market. "Safety, safety, safety. I have tested every boom on the market," Bowers says, "and when a boom cable breaks because of construction, it is a terrifying moment whether a skier is attached or not. Two stainless steel cables going from our boom all the way to the point of attachment provide maximum security and safety."

Another added feature of the Barefoot International Boom is its usage of superior clamps that provide the best connection with the ski pylon with no deterioration over time.

The safety features of the Barefoot International Boom allow the person instructing a beginning skier to fully concentrate on instruction and teaching children and adults alike to knee board, combo ski, wakeboard, slalom, and barefoot ski. "A Barefoot International Boom will last forever and you will become the go-to-guy for learning on your lake," Bowers tells boat owners looking for boom units.

The Footer's Edge is known around the world for its top of the line barefoot booms and its training programs. Private lessons at the Winter Haven facility are booked by aspiring skiers and accomplished veterans from across the nation who turns to instruction provided by a team headed by Lane "Dawg" Bowers, a member of the World Champions Elite United States Barefoot Water Ski Team, who is recognized as one of the top water ski instructors in the world. Most of the best barefooters in the world are currently coached or regularly train at The Footer's Edge Training Center. Although Bowers is responsible for coaching many top athletes, he takes his 
greatest pride in teaching beginners and intermediate skiers.
