Stand Up Paddlin'

This weekend I decided to give Stand Up Paddle Boarding a try...my friend Dara has a board and after standing on it (not actually paddling on it) once for about 5 minutes, I decided I should do this little SUP Jam race Sat morning. I somehow convinced Trina to do it with me. Not that we wanted to win or anything, we just wanted to have some fun.

So Ava, Darren, Trina & I headed to Town Lake for the race.

Here I am carrying my rental board:

Trina & I paddling out to the start (me in green shirt, Trina to the left of me in red)

Ava, cheering us on.

It actually was not too bad except it was really windy so I ended up paddling more on one side then the other. It was a great experience and Darren & I talk about possibly buying a board as it is great exercise and it something fun and different. We'll see though.
