If there is not a river handy, why not join the front halfs of two boats, making a "pullmepullyou"?
Put it in a swimming pool and the two oarsmen sit face to face, rowing against each other, rather like a tug of war.
The winner is the one who rows to the end of the pool.
(?) "Maximize your pool time."
http://www.owl-mkc.ca/pool-time.htm Recommends this as "an excellent forward stroke exercise" for canoeists and kayakers. [Monkfish, Oct 17 2004, last modified Oct 21 2004]

a spectator sport if there ever was one... |
|
|
I cannot come up with the word I want for this complete bloody lunacy. croissant for you |
|
|
Hah! Stimulated by this idea, I've nailed one of my shoes to the floor, and now I'm running in circles. |
|
|
Well, I guess there would be no photo finishes to botch. |
|
|
Now this is a boat-based sport that I could watch. |
|
|
This idea's going nowhere, fast. Cool! |
|
|
Somebody read too much Seuss as a child. |
|
|
Maybe they could struggle with the same pair of oars, too. |
|
|
This is insane. Croissant! |
|
|
Or give each one one side, and have 'em go around in circles. |
|
|
I wouldn't fancy being the cox, anyway. |

Munkfish's links suggest this is pretty baked. I remember playing a game like this (without boats) but with ropes tied to our life-jackets. |
|
|
Two boats engaging in a tug of war doesn't seem very novel to me. Two oarsmen facing off against each other in the same boat . . . now that seems fresh. |

I'm not surprised. It's simple. It's stupid. |
|
|
We best hope that one player doesn't try to sink the other persons boat. |

[wombat] Row v. Row. I like it. Unless one contestant loses his/her grip on the oar in the heat of the moment, and goes flying into the drink. Presumably it's all in shallow water, so we now get Row v. Wade. And the disequilibrium that follows will possibly debark the other chap so we get Wade v. Wade. |

I'm sorry I'm 10 months late with my rather stale breakfast treat, but here it is anyway. A fine scheme. |

Put two in a canoe with kayak paddles and a small ping pong table and ball between them. Each must paddle once before hitting the ball, and the first who wins a ball or pushes the craft over a line wins a point. |
