Does anyone do this in the UK? Looks like fun in a "total wipeout"/"it's a knockout" kind of fashion ;)

At last, a reason for SUP to exist..

The canoe jousting needs adjusting, the front jousters should b stood on the gunnels and the rear paddler should just do the paddling, then they can argue who's fault it was they lost.

As seen in 2008 in France at the course at St Piere de boeuf (excuse the spelling):

"Joust YOU off a slow moving boat" was the insult of the club for about three years after this...
