HOW TO PLAY
1

Two competitors climb onto opposite ends of a floating log and find their balance.

2

Both players start spinning the log with their feet in the same direction to build a rhythm.

3

Change direction, speed, or rhythm suddenly to try to throw the opponent's footing off.

4

Stay upright on the rolling log while trying to force the other competitor into the water.

5

The first player to fall or step off the log loses the round.

6

Play best-of-three rounds, switching starting positions between rounds for fairness.
