Would that be the Eddie we met in NC at Reid's last year? Now that guy could foot.

Unless it's Billy Nichols out of retirement, I thought Steady Eddie is currently the man.

Billy holds the record for the longest barefoot run in history. 2:48 min.
Eddie can barefoot for over 1 hour.
Both of these barefoot runs were long and slow runs, Billy skied at 36mph, and Eddie skied at like 42mph.
Viper will turn in shorter runs, but at much higer speeds (50 plus), and in much worse water.
We won the Dam to Dam last year with almost a 50 mph avg speed.

I'll put my money on Steady Eddie. I saw SEJ foot in Atlanta, through some water that was whitecaps, and he looked cool as a cucumber, toothpic and all.

Viper and Tony went head to head at the start of the Dam To Dam last year,the water was bad,and both of them almost made it to the city park, about 7 miles from the start. 7 miles of crap water,the boats never droped below 49 MPH, in rollers,and wind chop, for 7 miles. Eddie is the man, he is just not the barefoot racer that Viper and Tony are.

tull: I like Steady Eddie too. The tooth pic is a nice touch. We went up Reid's lake (Norman) last summer to pick him up. He footed back down the lake thru crap and then joined our 6 man. He was fun to watch.
