Two Sets on the Chain of Lakes: A Half‑Day Water‑Ski Session in Winter Haven
A 4‑hour, two‑set skiing session (morning or afternoon) with a ride‑along option at World Barefoot Center — this guide explains what to expect and how to plan.
Two Sets on the Chain of Lakes: A Half‑Day Water‑Ski Session in Winter Haven.
On Winter Haven’s sheltered lakes, World Barefoot Center runs a focused half‑day program that compresses the essentials of barefoot and waterski training into two concentrated sets. It’s a brief, vivid immersion — whether you’re sliding into your first wakes or sharpening turns — and the operator invites companions aboard to document the ride.
