I have friends that have barefoot skied & I think they needed at least 40mph.

Somehow I am missing something. I slalom all the time behind our 20' whaler. According to the GPS, we can't get the thing above about 40 MPH and when I am skiing, we run at a much lower RPM than full throttle. There is no dragging and no sinking either. Very typical ride. Maybe the GPS is off.
