Let's also recall the incident in which multi-time US champion, multi-time
world champion, multi-time Olympian and generally really good paddler
and nice guy David Hearn was forcibly ripped out of his C-1 because some

(Yeah, for someone like *me*, it probably was.  But for someone of
Davey's incredible skill and experience, it's a playground.)
