I’m wondering what the canoeing equivalent of “oh that’s a bad miss” or “where’s the cue ball going?” might be.
Snooker commentators are the best whisperers.

All other things considered, but if you have even only two people who do a thing, they will find a way to compete at it…

I’m hard pressed to think of a sport I wouldn’t watch over golf. Also, I don’t see this sport taking over whatever tiny amounts of green space we have left in cities.
Now, I want to see this synchronized!

WOW
you posted my video
I’m so delighted and flattered.
Here’s the thing: It’s not American Freestyle, it’s CANADIAN Freestyle.
We should let our friends to the north have this one.
And yes, Omer invented it.
To be part of this lineage is pretty cool. And no, we never wear bowties.

My pleasure. It’s a great video. I’m delighted to find you’re a member here.
I didn’t want to appear immodest. 
Thanks for confirming that Omer Stringer invented the style, although I wouldn’t be surprised to find that First Nations paddlers were doing the same thing millenia ago.

Someone please redub this video with metamorphosis by Philip Glass. I think it would both fit the video better as well as make it another level of surreal on top of surreal

Ron Swanson approves.
Looks like a sport where having stiff and lightweight equipment would be an advantage. Wonder how often someone puts a foot through their paper thin carbon nanotube shell. Love the idea of this being dangerous.

Fucks, he’s really good. I’m pretty proud of my j-stroke, but I ain’t shit compared to that. He’s so quiet!

Is it really a dying sport, or is it that a disproportionate number of golfers are near death?
