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.

The race community will be happy to know that a couple of our racing brothers have returned after a few years away and have formed a new team. Team “Hot Shots” will be racing behind BBiii, comprised of Tony B. (too hard to spell your last name, Tony. Sorry), John Skrobak, JJ Link, Mark Donahue, and Chris McWatters. This team is hoping to knock Team Top Gun off of the pedestal and interrupt their undefeated streak. 
We are always looking for new racers and teams, so please help spread the news and encourage footers to come out and compete with us. If you do not have a team or a boat, please contact me or any of the organizers and we will do our very best to get you on a team. We are in the business of barefooting and we continue to try to get more competitors on the water. The motto: “No Footer left on the beach”, will remain.  Please continue to check out www.barefootski.com, www.worldbarefootcenter.com, or Facebook for updates and general information.  Hope to see everyone on the water this year. Be safe and foot safe!
