Canal Vauting

This is a very strange and funny sport, I m going to tell about Canal Vaulting.

The sport involves a long pole and a body of water. The pole is between 8 and 13 m long and has a flat round plate at the bottom to prevent it from sinking into the canal bottom.

A jump consists of a sprint to the pole, jumping and grabbing it, then climbing to the top of the pole while trying to control its forward and lateral movements over a body of water, and finishing by landing on a sand bed opposite to the starting point.
