BAREFOOT WATERSKIING [1 record]

Record 1 2014-05-30

English

Subject field(s)
  • Surfing and Water-Skiing
CONT

The exhilarating sport of barefoot waterskiing is about the closest humans get to walking on water – "skiers" glide barefoot on the water pulled by a boat moving 40 miles per hour, attempting jumps, tricks and maneuvering laterally through the wake.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Ski nautique et surfing
CONT

[...] le juge en chef, à la suite d'une recommandation de la majorité des juges en fonction, peut disqualifier un skieur qui semble être un danger pour lui-même et pour les autres concurrents. Pendant la compétition, il peut agir de la même manière si un concurrent a un comportement anti-sportif ou pose tout autre geste considéré préjudiciable aux skieurs, aux organisateurs ou au sport du ski pieds nus.
