Sculling - Lession 1

I setup a sculling lesson for myself and a few friends the other day. I wanted to get a picture of it, but I left my camera-phone in my car (since I didn't want to get it wet). So, the picture here is one I found online (if this picture were of me, you'd see what looked like a drowned rat - since it was rainy).

Anyway, sculling was really fun. It takes some time to get used to the motions, but it's so much cooler than kayaking or canoing. It's really nice because you use your legs during part of the stroke and then your upper body for the other part. So, it's a really awesome workout. I think it'll take me several more tries before I get it totally down. But, so far I'm digging it. Next time I go (sometime next week) I'll try to get a real picture.

Once I get good at it, I'll feel like some ivy-league preppy kid! Which works for me, since I'm already really good at tennis and have super rich parents. :) Now, I just need an education.

That's so cool! I haven't heard of sculling before! Is it pretty hard to get a hang of?

It's a little tricky. After about 45 minutes I started getting the hang of it. But, it'll take some more time to get totally used to it.

Hey Preppy kid, I think you mean "Lesson" not "Lession"... Geez, what did mom and dad's tuition money pay for??? :)
