Thank you! Also, thank you to both you and Joann for all of your help!
Who are my fellow Barefoot steerers?
I find that steering barefoot gives me more gripping capabilities for increased stability. However, after a longer practice (75 to 90 min) my feet start to hurt. Any suggestions on steer shoes that still provide foot grip?

I have been wearing Haley Hansen boating shoes.

❓Questions
Q: How do you train your balance as a steer?
A: Stand on one leg while brushing your teeth! (Bonus points if you brush with your non-dominant hand too!) What kind of lunacy is this? It's actually rooted in science. And it builds ankle strength, sharpens stabilization systems, plus (bonus!) it integrates core work into something you're already doing. (And you don't have to be a steer-in-training to reap the benefits of this either.) This is just one of the golden nuggets @Joann Fegley dropped on folks during the session titled "Steering: What You Don't Know Can Hurt You" Sunday's virtual summit. Replays are now up and accessible in the classroom! You gonna try it? Show us video of you giving it a go (it's harder than you think!)

I'm a skier. I have been skiing since the age of 3. This helps with my balance.

Festivals
Any teams on here host their own festival? Looking to create a list of races for next season. Thanks!

I was looking for outliers.
Cooling Vest
Standing on the back of the boat in extreme heat can be torture for a steerer. Has anyone ever worn a cooling vest? Do they work?

@Cory Graham I use a cooling towel and ice packs right now but on days when it's 90 degrees out my body has a hard time with the heat. I avoid jumping in the water because of how smelly our water is. Putting my feet in makes it slippery for me. I know team USA sailing wears them so I was thinking of getting one. They are a bit pricey though. https://www.orosportsusa.com/collections

@Liisa Reimann I was thinking about that also, but they are designed to be worn by sailing teams so I am thinking that the designer had to take that into consideration.
