SUP Dude's

Yep yep, I FINALLY went stand up paddle boarding!

After complaining last year that I never get to do anything new or exciting (and that my mid-section was far too flabby), I was given a voucher for a stand up paddle boarding lesson. It then took me almost 12 months to arrange babysitting and actually use said voucher. But I finally got around to it and enjoyed it thoroughly, despite spending most of the time petrified I'd fall off into the cold water... and injure my already fragile pride.

I was the last in our group to actually stand up on my board, but once up and balanced it was quite relaxing... all the while working my core and my legs. Although I later found out that my legs shouldn't have been shaky afterwards and that maybe I was just a little tense - and unbalanced. Shaky legs aside, I enjoyed it and yes I would go back for more. If we could fit a board on the roof of the car I may even consider purchasing one.
