JACKIE CROFTON from 
Renmark, South Australia was selected as the 
July 2003 Footer of the Month

Here's why:

Jackie is a full time Pharmacist that divides her time between handing out prescription drugs, footing and promoting the sport she loves on radio and television.

Jackie works along side Bart Williams in a business they started to help promote barefooting and teach people how to foot.  Their company is called Footing Fever Water Ski School.  They have a very nice web site you can visit to find out more about their school and the events they promote and organize.

Jackie spends a lot of her time promoting the Footing Fever Invitational Night Water Ski Tournament, Australia's only Pro Night Barefoot and Wakeboard competition. 

At only 47kg with size 7 feet, she not only has the right physical attributes to be a top footer,  and she is packed with an abundance of positive attitude and mental toughness to take her footing to the next level.Here current stats include:

Women's 2 National Champion 2003
Back Slalom  - 6 x 2 foot crosses 

Currently Training on:
Back one's long line
Surface turns on shoes

Jackie and Bart love footing so much, they are planning a waterski wedding in January 2004.  They have planned for Jackie to arrive by boat and for the newly weds to ski away from the reception. Sounds like a very cool event.  Bart had better hold on to Jackie.  With so few women in this sport, Jackie would have a long list of footers ready and willing to take Bart's place.  To find a partner as equally passionate about this crazy sport as most men tend to be is like finding a needle in a hay stack.  Most men will tell you that they feel lucky if their wives just get in the boat every so often and show a little interest in what they are doing.

Congratulations Jackie for being nominated Footer of the Month!  And congratulations to Bart for convincing you to merry him.  Jackie is now eligible to be voted the 2003 Footer of the Year.
