The eighth edition of Feet on Fire took place on Wednesday at The Waterfront, Orlando restaurant on Lake Jennie-Jewel, just south of downtown. A 32-man, head-to-head barefoot endurance contest—is one of the most anticipated contests among competitors and spectators alike. Unlike most endurance barefoot contests, FEET ON FIRE is comprised of an invite-only list of elite athletes from a broad spectrum of towed watersports, including wakeboarders, wakeskaters, traditional waterskiers, show skiers, stuntmen and industry veterans.

Basically, it challenges competitors to hang on longer than the other. With each lap in the "ring of fire," the water gets choppier and rougher, ultimately ending in either a controlled or uncontrolled wipe out...both competitors are going down one way or the other. And, there's one main rule: no barefoot/wet suits allowed, only a pair of shorts and a flotation device.
Some of the riders competing included legends like Danny Harf, Darin Shapiro, Parks Bonifay, Shane Bonifay, JD Webb, Shaun Murray, Erik Ruck and Zane Schwenk. Mix those guys with the likes of young bucks Jake Pelot, wakeskater Jake Ramsdell, Cody Hesse, and show ski veterans Tom Oka (Guenther's dad), Tom Weber (just inducted to the Water Ski Hall of Fame), Kevin Michael (Kevco, former editor of Wakeboarding Mag), and Dan-O himself, and you have a recipe for a hell of an afternoon of barefooting.
One of the constant themes of Feet on Fire from over the years is the fact that some of the best performances come from wakeboarders with show skiing and barefooting roots. Daniel Watkins, Chris O'Shea, Zane Schwenk, Shawn Watson, the Bonifay brothers, JD Webb, and others all do well at this event. This year was no different. In fact, after all the head-to-head battles took place, the final round came down to two of those names, each having one FOF twice themselves: Zane and JD. The funny thing about this pairing is that Zane, the legend, first got to know JD when he was just a 4-year-old tike running around Cypress Gardens in spandex as part of the ski show. Basically Zane has been JD's watersports big bro his entire life. The two footed for nearly five full laps around the course before Zane finally caved and JD claimed his third FOF victory.
