rowdeo
A rip-roarin' competition-shindig dat involves valiantly trying to remain in da seat of your oars-powered boat while traversing "wild 'n' wooly" whitewater rapids dat are always viciously attempting to "buck you off" instead of just letting you serenely paddle along over dem.
I prefer to merely "paddle around da pond" in my simple flat-bottomed aluminum dinghy --- no strenuous/hazardous rowdeo activities for me, thank you very much! :P
