If you’ve been following kayaking at all in the last six months, you will have probably heard of the emergence of a new hand symbol and word known as the shrig. The shrig hand symbol is formed by making an ‘L’ with your finger and thumb, then flipping it upside down and saying shrig. The meaning of shrig is essentially the same as saying ‘stout’ or ‘brown,’ which hints at its redundancy. Not only do you have to remember ‘brown’ and ‘stout,’ but you also have to stuff your brain with the exact same word in a different form. It’s like knowing French fries as both fries and chips. Just forget one (preferably ‘chips’). More so, hopping on the bandwagon of something that came out of the Columbia River Gorge does not bring out your utter coolness. It just makes you a sheep. However, if you constantly say ‘brown’ and ‘stout,’ it shows that you are a highly respectable gweech who should be regarded as one of the highest ranking individuals on the planet.
