Day 6

It’s Mother’s Day! We decided to spend the morning lazing around at the beach but first I headed down the block to Auntie Snorkel and rented a SUP board for the day. I ben had a 25% off card. Mega bonus!

I headed back down the street to the beach entrance and Nancy had her camera already out and snapping pics as I got down the steps and onto the sand. I strapped it to me foot and away I went. Boy 7 months in between my first lesson and today didn’t mean I would get it right off the bat. Took a few tries and then I was up on the board and paddling away. This is what I was most looking forward to 🙂

After paddling around for a bit I headed back to shore and rested for a bit. After 1/2 hour it was calling me back in. So off I went. I only fell once this second time out and was able to get up on the board right away. It just takes a little time for the muscles to remember how to steady your body won the board. And the best part, my body didn’t make me feel like I got run over this time! Woo Hoo!

It did take a lot out of me though and made me hungry! Back to the condo to stow the board away and over to the 808 Bistro/Deli next door for some sammiches.
