They just had some kind of a fitness challenge to "kayak" a quarter of a mile and then hike a "mountain." Now they're all acting all triumphant.
First off, they were in inflatable pedal boats. A kayak is something that is propelled forward by a two bladed paddle. with your arms. The thing they used was not a f*cking kayak.
And I'm sorry, mountain? It was a hill. With a few steep parts. a couple hundred metres tall at most. that's not a f*cking mountain. climbing over 1,000 metres would classify as a mountain. not a couple hundred.
One fat kid was explaining how his abs were not yet strong enough to sit up straight in his blow-up pedal boat. If anyone has ever seen the movie Wall-E, these people are like the fatties on the space station thing.
