Matt learns to row

I spent some time out on the water today in Newport training Matt Schenk to row Venetian style.
It was a beautiful day, a bit windy, but clear and sunny.

Here's Matt learning dar-zo, also referred to as the "prybar stroke" by some.

We saw some more SUP surfers pretending to be gondoliers.

Matt was a natural, figuring out the right amount of one stroke or another to direct the gondola in almost any desired direction.
