Ever seen someone water ski barefoot? You’ll get a chance on Lake Lanier this Halloween

Like water skiing, barefooting involves holding onto a rope attached to a boat. Harwood said when he goes barefooting, he begins in the water by laying on his back and placing his feet on the rope. When the boat speeds up to around 40 miles an hour, he stands up and rides the water on his feet.
