“I came to barefoot waterski with the great help of French pioneer
Bernard Combier, who was one of the first to set up competitions
in France. During my years in the Region EAME barefoot Council -
and with the support of Charles Ramsey - I was dedicated to
communication and I edit a first paper version of the Barefoot
Databook in 1991, then available in pdf files on the former Region
EAME barefoot website.”
“I have noticed that a lot of
Federations were not very
enthusiastic in keeping
archives from their barefoot
national championships
and I must say I’ve tried to
collect results from
competitions all around the
World throughout these
past 20 years, as well as
national titles holders.”
“I still try to collect all competitions results and barefoot
pictures and I will be happy to fill missing names from
National title holders in some countries.”
