Australian Barefoot History
AUSTRALIAN BAREFOOT HISTORY Brett Wing, World and national champion In March 1960, at Sackville, the Australian Barefoot Waterski Club was formed by such great exponents as Jack Murray, Ray Leighton, John Hollands and Ron Marks. Ray Leighton Betty Leighton Ray Leighton was also the President of New South Wales WSC and his wife Betty shared the honour of being the first women barefooter with Betty Wheeler. She was later named judge at the first World Barefoot Championships. John Hollands was elected to the secretary's position. He later became the President for a number of Years. The club was primarily NSW based and run and interest gathered in the other States when interstate Skiers started to attend the National Championships which up until 1971 were all held in New South Wales. In 1971 The Championships were held in Adelaide. Since then, championships have been held in every State and Territory with the exception of Tasmania and the Northern Territory. The ABWSC evolved into a Nation wide club with all states forming their own divisions of the ABWSC and electing their respective Presidents and committees. The President of ABWSC who was Ken Matthews then became known as the National President. At the same time an affiliation was formed with the Australian Water Ski Association. The Barefoot Club still retained their individual identity which it still does in Today's climate. Through the affiliation came the added benefits of IWSF affiliation and representation on a National and Regional level. The only change now is that barefoot plays a much larger role in the day to day running of the Australian Water Ski Federation. Ken Matthews Mary McMillan Gary Barton John Hacker The growth of the sport was spectacular. Such greats as John and Margaret Hacker, Mary McMillan, Gary Barton and Brett Wing have all carried Australian Barefooting into the forefront of world competition. Gary Barton The ABWSC has evolved into a major force in Barefoot Skiing not only within our own region but overseas as well. The qualified successes of our skiers in international competitions make it possibly the largest single innovator in the sport. The American Barefoot Club is also a major player and it can be argued who is the greater. We obviously think that we are. The 1st International Competition was held in 1978 in Canberra, Australia. This was the 1st World Barefoot Championships as we know it today. It all started in 1975 when the IWSF then known as the World Water Ski Union (WWSU) ratified and accepted a set of rules. There were now over 20 countries throughout the world running competitions and a bid was made at the September 1977 meeting of the World Congress of the WWSU. It was successful; and so all was now in readiness and anticipation of the first World Barefoot Championships. Brett Wing The 1st World Barefoot Championships came to be in November 1978 in Canberra where 10 Nations, Australia, New Zealand, USA, France, Germany, Netherlands, Great Britain, Italy, Belgium and Austria competed. Barefoot Water Skiing had arrived and was looking good. The Patron Chief was the Governor General of Australia Sir Zelman Cowan and the Patron the Prime Minister Malcolm Frazer. The President of the WWSU Mr. JJ Finterswald from Switzerland was in attendance from Europe. The Championships attracted large crowds and according to the WWSU President were the best organized and run championships he had been to in over 30 years involvement with water Skiing. The Championships were dominated by Australians who won the Team event Gold and all other medals with the exception of third place in Men's jump to a New Zealander and third place in Women's Slalom which went to a USA st Skier. Brett Wing of New South Wales became the 1 Men's Overall Champion and Colleen Wilkinson became the Women's Champion. Many individual and team events were won by Australian skiers in open division as well as in senior or junior division, making Australia the ever top challenger to American domination of the sport. th In 2012, the 50 edition of the nationals was held in Liverpool near Sydney, and a strong Australian squad won all team titles at the World Championships.
