Historic Paddle Illustration Stand Up Canoe Race
Stand-up Paddling might be the new rage in watersports, but is certainly not a new phenomenon. From this EBay Link, a reproduction sketch originally featured in Harper's Weekly (1874).
INDIAN SKETCHES, INDIAN CANOE RACE
Harper's Weekly, June 1874.
Closeups reveal the natives using narrow-bladed, pole style grip paddles in the scene which I would assume would make gripping and controlling the paddles a additional challenge.
