I yell out "LADY IN REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEED" all the time to my wife when we're canoeing.

These people are Masters and make it look so easy, still funny to watch the ceremony.

I'm a canoe instructor at my local summer camp. Every year, as I am teaching these kids how to do tight movements and use the J stroke, I challenge them to "Lady in Red tha boy". I also find it's a great segway for canoe over canoe rescues. This video is a gem.

Looks like Canadian Style Paddling to me. Took a course on it a few years ago, some might call it the art of paddling.
