A few friends do barefoot skiing, I think the dad and son are world champs, and they routinely do 70+ mph.

I have jumped out of jetboats doing around 60 and kneeboarded high 50s...and frick this. I wouldn't want to ski at 60 much less 135.

While playing the old "innertube rodeo" game I've been slung skipping across the water like a smooth stone across a pond...but still couldn't have been doing more than 40 or 50 at most. I cannot imagine what a fall at 135 would be like...if your head catches and your body keeps going it would snap your neck like a twig.

It's called water ski racing, the pros routinely do 100+ mph. The skis they use are so thick that they basically glide on top of the water. When they make a turn or 'cut' at that speed they can glide for 3-400 yards. Its pretty unreal watching someone travel that far on skis after letting go of the handle.
This is one of the most famous crashes, from back in '83 (SFW). The staff at Bennett's still talk about the size of this guys balls:
