Stand up Paddleboarding
Finally Stood Up
Published: July 26, 2023
I first tried a SUP (Stand Up Paddleboard) about 3 years ago and couldn't get up. I tried since, same results. Couldn't get up.
Determined beyond belief, I went to Quarry Lakes in Fremont last Saturday, on a board generously given to me by my friend and co-worker, Alvin. I said to myself "I am GOING TO STAND" and screw it if I fell into the water; it was hot, I had my big lifejacket on, etc. And...I stood. I paddled. It was amazing - the amount of muscles I used to balance and keep paddling. The paddling is easy - thanks to years of paddling a raft around at Tahoe Keys in my youth. I look forward to many years of this fun activity!
