Extreme Sculling Headstand



I wrote about doing a headstand on the Laser foredeck in Eleven Crazy Things You Can Do on a Laser. I could never master that trick, even though I'm relatively familiar with balancing on a Laser so that the big stick thing points at the sky and the big shiny bit points down. I only tried sculling once... and I capsized! So I have the utmost admiration for the dude in the video, even if he is French.

  1. As a former rower and sculler I can confirm that this is incredibly difficult. I capsized twice into the Thames and it was not among my most pleasant memories.

    Also I think they are Dutch

  2. Dutch eh? I wonder why I thought they were French?
