Coaching future Olympians

This weekend, I spent some time 'coaching' a possible future Olympic paddler in Shadow. 

 

I now know that, Shadow can be paddled, sitting in the bottom of the boat, on your knees and by sitting backwards in the boat and paddling it backwards! And he is stable enough for you to stand up in. 

I'm glad the stability of the boat has been proven to me, now what excuse can I use the next time I throw myself out the boat?!
