Truly beautiful, marred only by the fact the canoe is green.

I understand the warning about not paying the ferryman now.

That was really rather nice. He has good skills, looks easier than it is.

Don't even fix a price

Looks suspiciously like Peter Sellers.

Man dancing to Jean Michelle Jam-jar, in a canoe.

Well, if horse dancing is an Olympic sport, why isn't this?

Been a while since I lived in the states, forgotten how bonkers some parts are and what weird things they get up to. Still was impressed with how much of lady in red I could sing (teenage son was perplexed about WTF I was watching and WTF was I singing, so that was a bonus)

Is disappointed - I was expecting a man dancing [i]in[/i] a canoe! Spinning one around with an oar isn't half as impressive! 🙂

Some serious skills there.

I really need to up my game with my canoeing attire.

There's some wonderfully childish comments. 🙂

I tried it with some different music and it looked like a bloke paddling, stopping, turning, paddling some more. Does 'The Lady In Red' make it? Cos I don't really wanna hear that song if I can help it.

Maybe try it with some Chris Rea, or Daniel O'Donnell if de Burgh has too much feels for you.

Not sure the music adds much but the linked paddle stroke sequence at the start is absolutely sublime. His edge control is toight too.

This. Especially when he took his shoes off.

Well. In related news, with my own music playing -some drum & bass, I bizarrely followed a link from another thread which showed me this:

And my music went absolutely perfectly. It was great! 😆

As a canoe coach, I endorse this view.

I took part in a canoe ballet competition at one of the early UK open canoe symposia. It's fair to say my performance was more killer whale in a wheelbarrow than tux with linked outside pivot turns...I blame the purple canoe I was in.

Isn't he basically doing donuts in a canoe?

I have no idea what I just watched. I was expecting him to stand up and dance in the canoe like a training scene from a 90’s Van Damme movie where he has an unorthodox martial arts master teaching him. Bitterly disappointed

Some more, from the masters daughter Becky Mason

For those who want some stand up and wobble it, gunwhale bopping for you.

Insane skills but song choice really needs a partner in sync.
