On my way home I saw someone paddleboarding and thought by myself, I have to take a photo from it. This isn't something you say everyday in Amsterdam West.

The famous Waikiki beachboys use these to keep track of their surfing students. Looks like a throwback to the old days to me.
We were playing with Skippy as this gentleman was leaving the water - he very kindly offered us a go on the his paddleboard - at first I declined but Dennis said you have always wanted a go, and the gentleman encouraged me some more....
The first step is to do it on your knees, so I did a loop - it was quite tough to turn the board.
Paddle away!

Since the weather today was a bit windy for going out to fish over the reef, today's adventure became renting a couple of stand-up paddleboards to try out in the lagoon behind our rented house. It's something my mom has been interested in for a while and our lagoon seemed like an ideal place to give it a go. Apparently it originates from Hawaii, though especially given the design of the ones we were using it was hard not to imagine the entire thing starting from an accident in a kayak factory. "Jenkins you imbecile, you forgot to put the seat in!" "Now wait just a minute sir, I've got this great idea..."
It's an odd sort of thing. The first minute or so feels very awkward; as one would expect you're constantly shifting your weight and trying to balance properly on the thing. But surprisingly quickly you get used to it, and standing becomes fairly natural. At least the way we were doing it it's not a thing of particularly high speeds, but it was fun to putter around our little lagoon and watch the fish and birds. Between my parents and I none of us even fell in! Though we did go for a nice relaxing swim afterward.
Stand-Up Paddle Boarding or SUP is a new fashionable sport developed in Hawaii. It is gaining tremendous popularity among surfers who find it as an excellent way to train while the surf is down. Paddle Boarding is an increasingly popular sport activity that involves paddling and/or surfing. It is as close as you can get to “walking on water.”
The standup board is relatively easy to ride and allows paddlers of all skill levels, including beginners, to enjoy a stable, comfortable ride while getting a moderate workout. Stand-Up Paddle Boarding can be done in the ocean, harbors, rivers and lakes.
