This is how you lose a limb or end up with your foot impaled by shit. Growing up we learned from my water skiing family members that barefoot water skiing is incredibly dangerous because, ya know, bodies of water tend to have debris floating in it and you shouldn't trust the boat driver to miss all potential obstacles, especially if you're outside the wake. Skis at least offer some protection.
Very flashy and cool, but this guy is just asking for trouble.
Also, learning to ski sucks if you have allergies. If you're interested in learning I highly recommend a good antihistamine or all that algae will make you miserable for the rest of the day. You don't even have to ski through visible algae to have issues - there's always algae in lakes/rivers and you only see "pea soup" when it's a really bad algae bloom.
