I met a Bass guide in Jersey, Channel Islands at Easter who does that skishing.
Beyond bonkers, what he described to me. Even for a Bass guide....

Skishing, I thought he had dyslexia.

Those Jersey lads are very knowledgeable and I think they even have a couple of articles about skishing on their blog but its still nuts and I certainly don't see myself trying it any time soon.
