The art of Gunnel Bobbing

Open canoes may be 'poled' (punted), sailed, 'lined and tracked' (using ropes) or even 'gunnel bobbed'.

Gunnel Bobbing is the art of standing on the gunnels of a canoe and propelling it forward by bobbing up and down. Sometimes people try to balance with one person on each end of the canoe. This is very difficult and may be fun. However, it is not technically gunnel bobbing. You are not propelling the canoe forward if you are only attempting to balance with another person standing on the front gunnels.
