Canoeing Index
One of the activities I like to do is canoeing. Canoeing is a water sport where competitors propel a canoe with a single bladed paddle across various different types of water for various different reasons. Canoeing is good, and you can and should do canoeing too, because it's really awesome. If you can't do canoeing, then kayaking is acceptable too, but it is better to go canoeing, because it is just better.
