Sweet…..to good not to share….a cult classic…….it’s gonna go viral!!!!!!
Derrick – That is HILARIOUS “I have never flipped over my pungo in 12 years on all the lakes I’ve paddled” Too funny
That was way tooo funny!
Now I have a strange desire to try to roll a Pungo. Nice work…nice map too…Africa does indeed look pretty small there.
I wrote this on the Nessmuking Facebook page, but thought I’d copy it here for your readers who don’t read Nessmuking.
The other day, Joe O’Blenis posted this video to Facebook. It’s pretty funny and functions as a humorous examination of the Dunning-Kruger effect:
1. Incompetent individuals tend to overestimate their own level of skill.
2. Incompetent individuals fail to recognize genuine skill in others.
3. Incompetent individuals fail …to recognize the extremity of their inadequacy.
4. If they can be trained to substantially improve their own skill level, these individuals can recognize and acknowledge their own previous lack of skill.
The above points, copied from Wikipedia, about the Dunning-Kruger effect spell-out the themes playing in the video. It serves as an excellent example of some of the dangers involved in rating your own skill level as a beginner in the sport. Because of the D-K effect, when I see newspaper reports about paddling accidents that list the paddler as intermediate, I give pause. Typically, the paddler isn’t.
The video is worth your time, because it’ll make you LOL while informing about a more important issue.
So, now every time I have to fill out one of those silly application forms that asks me my skill level and the word “intermediate” is there – - – you KNOW what I’m going to think about, don’t you?
nice one!!!!!!
Duuuuudde, stick with the Nordie… don’t listen to suit-boy and his bombproof eggrolls, like running from a sniper you’ll just die tired… thar be sea sarpents…
…NEXT!
This was so Funny,
I used to run a ski school in New Zealand where we asked the students to self-evaluate their ability level so we could sort people into classes. Consistently we would end up with a student mix of really good women skiers and really bad guy skiers. The mirrors that read, “Objects in the mirror appear bigger than they really are” were designed for men. Guys typically over estimate their ability while women typically underestimate theirs.

Now I want a Pungo
