I like the idea of cheering for other folks who enter the Okatoma canoe and kayak race on August 14 -- I'm pretty sure I'd fall out of the boat almost immediately!
I'm probably the worst kayaker ever... but I'd love to watch this.
I'm sure the spectators will enjoy watching the Okatoma canoe and kayak race on August 14 as much as the racers.
