When I see videos of Venitian gondaliers sculling, they seem to rotate their wrist a lot more. It must be to impress the tourists though it musr be tiring. Well done Michel.

The Venetian gondoliers use a different technique. It is a mix of rowing and sculling! There are videos about this on Youtube and it looks a lot more complicated!

Sculling is very simple and not tiring at all (unless you go crazy!). You can learn it in minutes! Thanks Jacques! :)
