I was at the Mastercraft Pro Tour a few weeks ago and Zane Schwenk hit a kicker on his bare feet! He flies! Its pretty sick. Check it out here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bdcpjQrVhbs
barefooting in general is a tough sport!! I bought a boom for my boat a couple weeks ago off craigslist and have been trying to figure it out. it's not easy!!!!
