Lane Bowers is the ultimate instructor for teaching someone to bare foot water ski. He was previously part of the US National Team. His location is in Winter Haven, Florida. The water conditions are pristine in that area and the climate is always warm to moderate. His teaching techniques are superior; he is able to break down a portion of what you are trying to learn into the steps leading to it. Safety is paramount in his considerations for his students. Lane is also entertaining and as videos and equipment to enhance and further your knowledge in barefoot waterskiing. I have taken lessons from him at least four times and every time is a unique and wonderful experience.
