Great Groveland Barefoot Laps Challenge
A nod to the classic barefoot lap endurance contest, the Great Groveland Barefoot Laps Challenge is a test to see who can barefoot the longest around Lake David. The twist: after the second full lap, the boat will decrease speed by 2 mph and continue to decrease speed by 2 mph on every lap until the skier falls.
Format:
Up to 25 barefooters will compete in this barefoot endurance contest with all ages divisions for standard and duct tape barefooters.
Objective:
Competitors will be pulled in a counter-clockwise direction. You get to choose your starting speed, up to 42 mph. After completing two full laps, the boat will reduce speed by 2 mph after each additional lap—until you fall. The two longest runs of the day will advance to a head-to-head final showdown.
AwardS:
HEAD TO HEAD CHAMPION: The two longest timed barefoot runs of the day go head-to-head to name an overall champion.
LONGEST BAREFOOT RUN: The Barefooter with the longest timed barefoot run will win the coveted title.
BEST BAREFOOT START: Given to the best step-off or most creative barefoot start of the day.
BEST CRASH: The name speaks for itself; the most impressive bail of the day takes this award home.
DRESSED TO IMPRESS: An opportunity to barefoot with flair and really make an impression on the crowd.
SLOWEST SPEED: The barefooter who is able to keep barefooting (no butt riding, you must be on your feet) at the slowest speed of the competition.
