Feet on Fire is a 32-man, head-to-head barefoot endurance contest with one main rule: no barefoot suits allowed, only a pair of shorts and a vest. The event was founded by watersports industry announcer Danny (Dano the Mano) Amir and pro wakeboarders Parks Bonifay, Daniel Watkins and Erik Ruck. The first Feet on Fire was held in 2005 on Clear Lake in Orlando, Florida. Since then, the barefoot endurance competition has taken place numerous times in Central Florida, Wisconsin and Australia. The event is owned, organized and produced by Touch of the North Events, LLC.

The first Feet on Fire was held in 2005 on Clear Lake in Orlando, Florida at Crazy Kelman’s legendary house. Since then, the barefoot endurance competition has taken place numerous times in Central Florida, Wisconsin and Australia.

The idea was an endurance barefoot contest, with almost no rules. The one main rule: no barefoot suits allowed, only a pair of shorts and a vest. Aside from that one golden rule, the barefoot contest would basically be anything goes. Two guys start behind the boat and have to be barefooting by a certain point, but they didn’t care how – deepwater starts, one or two ski step-off starts, wakeboards, wakeskates, wake surfers, kneeboards … anything, they just needed to be barefooting by a certain point.

 

Congratulations again to Jake and all of the other athletes for putting their feet on fire!
