Finally, winter seems to be coming to an end, at least in the mid-west. For most of us it has been a long, cold and snowy winter. As the winter winds down we can start thinking about getting our boats out, dusting off our suits, and conditioning our feet, body and soul for the quick approaching season.
As many already know, the “Figure-8 barefoot series” from last year has been renamed and now is called the “WBC Figure-8 barefoot series”. The World Barefoot Center has graciously sponsored the series with $4,000 in cash to the top 3 footers in the series, and $1,000 in gift certificates to be used at the WBC pro-shop for the top 5 footers in the series. The series sites will remain the same; the dates are what have changed.

As winter comes to an end, we all can start letting our feet thaw and begin to heat them up for another race season. There will soon be a conference call generated by Team Top Gun and we will begin to plan out the race season sites and dates.

Thus far, we have some dates and locations. On August 13th in Maumee, OH the Buckethead Barefoot Endurance Race will be held. This race has, at this time, a 12 boat maximum so, if there are teams out there interested, please register early, as spots will go quickly. We will also have the Mississippi River Challenge on September 17th in Lake St. Louis, MO, The Stewart Bieber Memorial Barefoot Endurance Challenge on October 1st in Montgomery, AL, and then on November 6th we round the season out with the Dam to Dam in Austin, TX.  As the year progresses, there will phone numbers and email addresses for the site organizers available for questions and early registration.
