    The Guinness world record for the most barefoot waterskiers towed backwards behind a single boat is 12, and was achieved by the Wisconsin Barefooters (USA), at South Wood Country Park on Lake Wazeecha, in Grand Rapids, Wisconsin, USA, on 20 August 2016.

    The barefoot skiers came from Minnesota, Wisconsin and Florida. The large group found each other through the show ski community, The Jordan Independent reports.

   The group typically does an event like this each year and is the group who set the world record last year.

   The barefoot skiers start out with two skis. After the boat accelerates a bit, they can spread out and take off one. When the boat reaches around 50 miles per hour, a green flag is raised and the skiers are able to take off the remaining ski.

   There are certain requirements that must be shown in a video, such as buoys placed every 50 meters. There's also a weight limit for the skiers at 210 pounds. The more skiers, the more the weight limit drops in order to get more people pulled behind one boat.
