Canoeroots couldn’t find Gunwale Bob for comment, but an undisclosed whistleblower at
his organization states, “The time for passive promotion is past.” Meanwhile, a shrinking minority of recreational canoeists and families who never heard
that gunwale bobbing is too dangerous continue to enjoy this graceful and precarious dance. Some of canoeing’s best known advocates are ardent bobbers. “Gunwale bobbing is a canoe game we played as children—and one we still play,” write
Joanie and Gary McGuffin in Paddle your own Canoe. In fact, the McGuffins encourage bobbing as an exercise to develop balance in a canoe. So, what is the uncertain future of gunwale bobbing? Will the enthusiastic efforts—
public or subversive—of the NGBA and Gunwale Bob resurrect this classic canoe game at children’s camps? Or will over-protective zealotry deliver it the same fate as wooden playground structures, cliff jumping, bare feet and the other regrettably forgotten but unforgettably fun pleasures of previous, more risk tolerant generations? Act now to save gunwale bobbing. Grab a partner or go alone. Straddle bow or stern, grip
the gunwales between bare toes, feel leg muscles flex and extend rhythmically. Stand up, bob and be counted. » Virginia Marshall
