Back in January, we told you about the concrete toboggan competition in Hamilton, Ontario, where competitors fabricate concrete canoes and then race them, careen into crowds, wear funny costumes. It turns out that concrete is a pretty versatile medium when it comes to transportation.

There is a concrete canoeing organization, I shit you not, which competes, vets papers and maintains the ‘world’s largest and most comprehensive data base* on concrete canoeing’. The website is ridiculous and gave me epilepsy when I looked at it. I’d take a screenshot, but you need to see it in action. But come back to check out this video of hottie nerds canoeing.

Shit floats, and so does cement, apparently.

*There are no concrete canoe databases that are as large or comprehensive. There is a larger regular canoe database, but it’s not nearly as comprehensive!
