Surfing the Dog
During one of the “rest days” of the 2008 David Thompson Brigade, a few people went to play in some rapids. The video shows that a 25 foot canoe with six paddlers is a very capable boat in the right hands. Note that when the canoe is surfing (the boat isn’t being pushed down river and nobody is paddling) it is surfing two waves, not just one.
