competitive sailing

has different courses which are pretty short, around 1-2 minutes each. each course has a button that lets you spawn a rowboat about the size of a player avatar. as soon as you sit on the boat a timer starts. you need to row to the finish line as fast as possible. when you're on the boat, the rows are fixed to your hands, you don't need to grip to hold them. rowing on the right right pushes you both forward and to the left, and vica versa, so you're forced to use both hands to move forward quickly. each course has obstacles in it, like moving walls or water streams that increase/decrease your speed based on a direction, which makes each of them feel unique. there's a scoreboard at the end of each course that shows the best time of each player in the instance. you can see your friends rowing while also rowing yourself.

- simple, has no learning curve, anyone can start playing right away
- made for VR, utilizes VR hand tracking, speed and angle of hands can affect the physics of how the rows push you around
- doesn't feel daunting because courses are short
- doesn't feel repetitive because many different courses with different pathing/obstacles
- already fun alone but can invite friends and play together making it more fun
- has replay value because you can keep trying to improve your speed

can add random checkpoints with mirrors and nice scenery so that people who are tired can just chill together between playing courses, so the world works as a hangout spot too
