leg-rowing
The Intha people on Inle Lake in central Myanmar (fig.) have a distinctive leg-rowing technique (fig.).
It involves standing at the stern on one leg whilst wrapping the other leg around the oar.
This unique style is said to have evolved in order to allow a good view over the many reeds on the lake, as well as when fishing.
