WINDSOR, Nova Scotia (CNN/CBC News) - People braved the bitter cold to paddle across a lake in Nova Scotia in a bunch of giant pumpkins.

The pumpkins were hollowed out, and some even got a personalized paint job for the annual pumpkin regatta.

The winner called his "Gourdinstein."

There was even a race for pumpkins with motors on them. A 12-year-old boy won that one.

Organizers say the cold kept some people away, but they still got about 30 new pumpkin paddlers.
