Catamaran

This week on THAT’S AWSM!, we’re walking the plank with Shakohaiiostha a Mohawk/Abenaki youth from Kahnawake, and Nathan Dales, who stars as ‘Daryl’ on the hugely popular Canadian comedy show, Letterkenny. With a pit stop at the batting cages, we’ll discover the incredible Indigenous history of Lacrosse, and get to know a filmmaker from Oka, the land where Nathan and Shako will sail the high seas on a thrilling voyage!

So Shako, who do you think was really wearing that mask?

Shakohaiiostha

This one?

Shakohaiiostha

I dunno, it was so random. No idea why they’d be hanging around the marina with that creepy mask on. Nathan and I went to investigate after we were done filming that scene.

Nathan Dales

At least they were cool about being a part of our episode! They still wouldn’t take their mask off though.

We got a selfie in case they were someone famous!

Fun Fact : Lacrosse

Nathan Dales

It was great being pirates and playing baseball with you two!

Shakohaiiostha

Thanks Nathan! Was great trying out my batting skills. Way different than lacrosse.

Darcy Waite

Yea, it was so cool! Pirates and Baseball and Lacrosse in one day…should we have called ourselves the “CrossBall pirates”?

Nathan Dales

Darcy Waite

Darcy Waite

Nathan Dales

That wasn’t all the work – moving that floating unicorn around was pretty difficult too!

Darcy Waite

I created a monster!!! Oh floaty unicorn how did you get so huge!! It looks like you kept growing.

Shakohaiiostha

Darcy you didn’t create a Frankenstein…

Darcy Waite

I’m so proud of my creation. Look how happy floaty unicorn is with me around. We’re like best buds! Oh that happy unicorn smile!

Nathan Dales

His smile will never change Darcy. He’s made out of plastic - he will never be real.

Activity

Voile Sansoucy

A catamaran is a twin-hulled sailing boat… kind of like a raft on two logs! The main design of a catamaran has existed for over 3000 years, influenced by the wooden rafts used by the Polynesian peoples, who used it to make voyages between islands… just like NATHAN and SHAKO are doing right now!

Check out the place where Nathan and Shako did catamaran here!

Icebreaker

Baseball

Baseball is a team sport where two teams take turns batting and fielding. The goal of the game is to hit a ball with a bat and earn runs for the team. To practice batting, players can turn to a batting cage to sharpen and strengthen their skills! In a batting cage, the batter stands at one end with the bat while a pitching machine throws the ball. Pitching machines can be calibrated for different speeds, ranging from 38 to 140 km an hour to help players improve their technique!

Nathan and Shako tried their batting at Plan de Match, check out their website!

You may recognize him from his roles on Blackstone and Delmer & Marta, or you may have heard that he’s produced a few films and web series himself, but it’s time to get to know DARCY WAITE as host of That’s AWSM! Outgoing, sporty, goofy, warm, and entertaining, Darcy is down to try any and all of our AWSM activities… unfortunately he doesn’t often get to! He can recite every single line from every Will Ferrell movie ever made, and isn’t too crazy about vegetables, but there is nothing he loves more than meeting teens from communities all over Canada and helping them live their best AWSM lives – which makes him the perfect guy for the job!
