OK – this is my second day out and I’m totally hooked! I managed to get up and stay up for about an hour total in three separate runs! Did some turns, circles, followed a turtle (got so distracted watching the turtle that I totally fell off!), managed to get back on the board from the water (not as easy as it sounds when you can’t use your belly) and even started making some speed. It’s hard to balance and begin learning how to use power, steer, counter the strong current and swells, etc. but I started really getting the hang of it. It’s more of a workout than you might imagine. It’s a bit like yoga – you use a lot of muscles just to balance on the board, not to mention paddle, steer and all that good stuff. I see a board in my future…but they are pricey. Sam rode on the front again for a bit and I have some cute video of him standing up like he’s surfing. Will load that when I get a minute to edit and splice…
