Stand Up Paddleboarding has become really big now. I don't really understand the craze to be honest. Unless you're really good and can surf on them it all seems a bit boring. Sort of kayaking made pointlessly difficult.
Having said all that I have plans to have a lesson at Marazion!
Lucky I'm not posting all this stuff to Bruce's group, I'd be barred!


Tee hee!

So that's what it's called - Stand Up Paddleboarding! I suppose the
clue's in the name. Well, it seems to be all the rage at the moment when
the sea is calm. The other day there were loads out there - like little
ants walking on water.

I can imagine it becomes a bit uncomfortable after a while.

Through binoculars I sprogged somebody a long way out paddling away with
2 kids, 2 dogs and what looked like a picnic hamper onboard.

Yes, better be careful Graham, Will might kill-file you.... :-)
