The Footer's Edge Barefoot Water Skiing Equipment Training Center - Winter Haven, Florida

Mike Woodward

Lane provides so much advice for Barefoot skiing in text and video that it's simply astounding.
A world Champion with a lifetime of focus on TEACHING he has refined the process of instruction at every level from beginner to tricks far beyond what I will ever perform.
The barefoot suit that I bought from Lane, on the advice of others good experience, was a game changer that I needed. I am so much more comfortable with long line deep water starts, which is handy now that I'm 60yrs, 220lbs, and competing with a team of friends in endurance barefooting.
Lane is a solid human being, a devout Christian, and he wears his heart on his sleeve.
I look forward to the time when I can get to Florida and take a lessons from him directly.

Lane "Dawg" Bowers and the crew at "The Footers Edge" made my Dreams of being able to wakeboard at 47 years old a reality!!! Every weekend since i bought the boom for our boat, I have been wakeboarding. There would have been No WAY!! let me Repeat that NO WAY!! I would have got the hang of it with out the boom - Now I even rip around with my kids at the cable park. I cant recomend these guys and the gunnel mount boom enough!!!

I have been a student of Lanes for several years. He has helped me both in person and virtually. Lane is able to break down the mechanics into small nuggets of applicable information and details that make the instruction both easy to apply and retain.
Beyond being an awesome instructor he believes in and is always giving back to the sport.
I am pleased to endorse - recommend Lane and The Footers Edge.

Lane is a master-class coach. His videos, everything from his dvds to his online workshops, are just what the doctor ordered.

Some "coaches" exist not because they can teach, but only because they ski. Lane on the other hand has had many successes in turning inexperienced people into competent skiers.

Even myself, without his tutorials I'd be on my head. After studying Lane's tutorials, forwards, backwards, tumbles, have become more hit than miss, therefore fun.

Rough water, smooth water, fast and slow, Lane has it all covered. While other coaches might tell you feet centre themselves then let you blow an eardrum then explain it off as falling is normal, Lane makes sure you know the set up before you attempt anything.

Falling isn't normal if you've got the set up . So get set up right. Get Lane Bowers.

My daughter (17) and I (48) had so much fun working on our barefooting. Lane keeps it safe and enjoyable the entire time. He also breaks the process down into manageable steps to make learning easier. We highly recommend the Footer’s Edge and our family will be going back!

Lane Bowers videos are great. I could never get up on water skis until I watched his videos and learned the proper technique to ski. We ended up buying a boom for our boat so our whole family could enjoy waterskiing and wakeboarding. With Lane’s help we plan on taking on barefooting next season.

Lane taught both my boys how to barefoot in a way that they did not get hurt and excelled at the sport. He was very good at giving them hints and tips that they have used to remember how to barefoot. I also have watched Lane teach his own sons to be good young men first then great athletes second. Lane has been very helpful to my family.
