Paddler Magazine: Functional vs. Interpretive Freestyle Canoeing

[lowangle al]

I think “advanced canoe paddling techniques” should cover it. Or “ beyond the basics”

I suppose this is an example of "functional freestyle" although there seems to be a bit of the interpretive stuff mixed in.

To me personally I see freestyle as 2 words. Free and style..
To me the style part are the manouvres.
The free are all the non standart chances that can be done either for more fun or more finesse or because it fits you better.
Some fit doing style on music, some free on music, some sryle in silence, some free in silence.
All 4 can be done with an audiance or alone.
