Struer is still making wooden Olympic style sprint boats.

: So I’m watching the Olympics today and Bob Costas announces flat water canoe
: and kayak racing. YES! First the kayaks raced. Or were they kayaks? And
: the canoes, well, I don’t know. I’ve never seen canoes paddled in a
: marriage proposal kneeling position before. The whole thing was completely
: foreign to me.
: And where’s the wood strip kayaks. That’s what the Olympics needs, wood strip
: kayaks and canoes. Guess I’m just a romantic at heart, but 1/8” thick
: strips sandwiched between 2-4 oz glass would have added a whole lot to the
: overly technological Sydney Olympics.
