I've been seeing and hearing a lot about paddle boarding. I've heard it is a great core workout as well as a great way to cruise the ocean. Living in Arizona we don't get a lot of chances to paddle board. So I've improvised!
I was telling a friend about my plans to buy a long board and he loaned me his. So today I played around with the board and my HD video camera. I have also been wanting to learn how to use the video function on my camera. It's a amazing function but I know it's going to open not only new opportunities but a new set of expensive "I want or I needs". But it's so great I can't not figure out how to use it!
I'm pretty excited about the board, the video and the fact that the cane I'm using for my paddle is my late grandfather Andy's. I adored him, his gentle kisses and whispers of I love you... I was lucky enough to get his cane and have had it in my home since his passing. He didn't need a cane other then the fact he was jumped twice while going out for walks (growl)... I've kept his cane safe and untouched but always visible in my home. I thought this activity would be a fun way to use his cane and it helped me feel close to him again.
It's my plan to use the long board as a paddle board here in my neighborhood of downtown Tempe. As of now I won't ride with Presley but that is my ultimate goal. It would be a fun way to cruise with her and the extra 35 lbs. could only add to the workout!
