From the Beach to the Barge

From the World of crazy sports… Bump Races

A bumps race is a form of rowing race in which a number of boats chase each other in single file, each crew attempting to catch and “bump” the boat in front without being caught by the boat behind.

Think of playing tag.. but on water with big boats.  I feel for the boathouse managers… and the rowers that get bumped.

Noah Finz shares the story of Daisy Mazzio-Manson, whose mother helped her find a very inspiring role model.

Rowing is one thing we all have in common; our respect for nature is another. As an outdoor sport, we learn to respect the body of water on which we row. The health of that water – not just the water itself but all other life that we share the water with – is vital. It’s in our nature.
