Stand up Board

We saw some real young kids using a blow up board at Cumberland and it was really solid and worked good. The wife always wanted a board since we got back from Hawaii a few years ago. Well kohls online sells them and she could use her coupons and get kohls cash and her discount. So she's very cheap and finally bought this for herself.

We just started Paddle Boarding this year as my wife also wanted to try. It's fun as it's a different perspective over the water, and you can explore all the 5mph areas on the river Boats can't get to.
You got one too? Inflatable is very popular

The people at Kelly Moore say its essential to "watch paint dry" between coats. I'm glad your going in

We won't attempt it in the wind, ( you'll be off like a sail boat) our area is all 5 mph and we go evenings when the breeze goes away. My wife loves it and I'm enjoying it now that I'm getting the hang of it.

I grew up doing a camping trip or two each summer to Boundary Waters Canoe Area which meant a lot of paddling in a canoe. I’ve always loved paddling as a form of exercise and I now own a canoe, kayak, and 4 paddle boards. The lake we are on is normally calm in the morning so I often start out my day with an hour paddle. It’s damn peaceful out there at sun up with only some loons and maybe a fisherman to share the lake with.
Here are my 2 newest SUP’s.

I thought you said stand up board?? Have that camera ready! I’m with Aslan and Jeff/Katie - been there, done that (or didn’t do that)! I was really good at it in my mind just before climbing on ot too! Of course it was in Gulf surf so...
