ARE YOU (GIVEN HALF THE CHANCE) LOOKING FOR A LITTLE ROMANCE?
Yes? Then you've just hit the jackpot in the form of this splendid and m o v i n g freestyle canoeing clip from 2007.
Admittedly, dapper Marc basically only has one move (build up an little speed and then spin the canoe) but I love thinking of what he's thinking about. Ignore the Yankie clapping and feel the romance of the lake art.
Here's more deets on freestyle canoeing for the newly converted:
American Freestyle canoeing is the art of paddling a canoe on flat water with perfect control of its movements. The canoe is usually leaned over to the side to help the boat turn sharply and efficiently and paddle strokes are taken on either side of the canoe depending on the individual move. Balance, paddle placement and turn initiation are a few keys to this control. Since the movements seem dance-like, some practice this art timed to music, which is the ultimate in control.
