World Champion Barefoot Water Skier Mike Siegel With a Young Keith St. Onge

Keith St. Onge may be well-known for his achievements in barefoot water skiing and real estate, but Keith's story hails from humble beginnings. The former barefoot water skier spent his childhood in the small town of Berlin, New Hampshire. Known for having harsh winters, Keith wasn't introduced to barefoot water skiing until he was 9yrs old when he was taught by barefoot water skiing champion Mike Siegel.

His first experience barefoot water skiing gave birth to a new passion and by the age of thirteen, he made a commitment to become a world champion barefoot water skier as well as to eventually create his own ski school. Shortly after high school, Keith moved to Florida where he started a ski school and went on to become one of the most influential athletes in extreme sports.



Keith won fourteen world championships, nineteen national titles, and has set eleven world records in his over 15 year long career. It wasn’t until his late thirties that Keith would start thinking about retirement and looked to real estate as another avenue to generate income. Although Keith St. Onge may be retired from Barefoot skiing competitions, he still finds innovative ways to break new records.
