TOTN EVENTS
 

OUR FLAVOR

 

Touch of the North Events is focused on getting back to embracing the fun that towed water sports and the lake lifestyle offers. Our flavor of contests are built to:

  • help grow the sport,

  • sustain the sport,

  • encourage our community, and

  • prepare those for competition.

All, while maintaining an overall laid-back, fun and inviting environment for all enthusiasts + participants as well as their families + friends.

Based out of Orlando, Florida and the Chicagoland area, Touch of the North Events (TOTN Events) is devoted to growing towed water sports by bringing the community together through grassroots competitions and contests that challenge the norm and encourage genuine stoke. The company organizes the following contests: Feet on Fire, Twin Lakes CornFest, Thigh High Surf + Wake Series, Great Groveland Barefoot Laps Challenge, Mid-Summer Shred, Buoy Brawl and the 2022 Florida State Yo-Yo Contest. The 2023 season includes:

 

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.
