SUP

H and I, along with TM & CC, took stand up paddling lessons at Osprey Sea Kayak. It was a load of fun. The instructor, Mike Simpson, kept things fun and informative. In no time at all H and CC were walking all over the boards and doing pivot turns. I was the only person to take a swim. The first time I walked too far forward and flipped. The second time was a pivot turn gone bad.
Stand up paddling is fun and I could see it as an alternative to kayaking if you've only got an hour after work to enjoy the water. It will never replace kayaking on the ocean.
