Learn to Stand Balanced with paddle on pvc pipe - Finnish, Chinese and Americas

I watched at facebook few videos from finland and china , finnish man was standing balanced on single cut wood on very raw river and sliding with high speed. And chinese woman was paddling a long bamboo trunk with high speed , again standing and balancing .

Is this art very difficult,is there any book, article to telling this art and history, giving tips?

 

There is lots to consider.

Each person has different abilities to balance and some can improve by training. Practice is important.

The other thing is sea state. If the seas are rough; you’ll need more than a log to balance on.

But you can build a simple watercraft that is safer without too much trouble.

Are you in any danger now?
