Paddling Around in Circles is what you do as part of the team that gets into one of my Torus Shaped Canoe Boats.
There are different sizes available, from the very simple two person, to the multi-crew type. They all work the same way.
Co-ordinated paddling makes them go in a circle, whilst remaining
on one spot in the water. Faster paddling makes them rotate more rapidly. Competitive paddling means they turn more slowly, in the prevailing direction of the stronger crew member(s).
Two Torus Canoes in proximity can do The Cog Wheel, with overlapping paddles carefully avoiding each other as they enmesh, creating the illusion that one canoe is actually driving the other's rotation.

I could see this becoming a real event. |

A clear case of sport imitating life. [+] |

But then you'll have to spin around exactly the same number of times the other direction to become 'undizzy.' |

To prevent any lasting damage from the practice of Paddling around in circles, the recipient could first don some Padding around in circles. |

In winter they would be piddling around i-cicles... |
