Day 252 – Paddle Boarding

This was definitely one of my favorite intentions so far!!! The girls and I went paddle boarding and kayaking right back at the same place I went with Tammy and her girls last weekend. Tammy and I met up there just a little earlier than the other ladies and snapped some pics and hung out for a few. Then the others girls arrived shortly thereafter and I was able to introduce Tammy to all the lovely ladies: Elizabeth, Tina, Suzy, Barbara, Christine and Carlin!

Only Tammy, Carlin and I chose to paddle board, the others decided to kayak. Well, let me say first of all I have never been paddle boarding and have wanted to for quite some time. Tammy and I were first on the water. We paddled out just a bit so the others could launch as well and when I went from a kneeling position to a standing position, I lost it and slipped right into the water! It wasn’t very deep at that point  and maybe out of pure reaction I just up and somehow launched myself in the superman position right back onto my board!!! And yes, that famous little girlie squeal I do somehow came out too. Tammy and I ERUPTED in pure laughter. OMG it was all so fast and so hysterical. Anyhow after I got myself situated, Tammy and I just hung out chatting while the others got launched into the water and then we were all on our way.

We paddled down the ocean together in a group. I stayed on my knees for a while then got my courage to stand back up and did. Sure enough, once you get the hang of it, it’s really not hard at all.   
 Challenging? Yes.      Hard? No.       Fun? ABSOLUTELY!!      What a workout too!!!

One of the ladies had a bit of a harder time and although a couple of the girls tried to help her out, she opted to stay back a bit. The rest of us went ahead on and ended up at the beach. We got off and hung out for a while on the beach together, just chatting and enjoying each others’ company. Carlin took her paddle board to the other side of the beach where there were bigger waves to surf which was so cool for her. What an awesome group of ladies! I am so blessed to have these local friends and am so super excited to have a newfound hobby. I am absolutely getting a paddle board and this will surely be something I do quite often. #SundayFunday #HGAL #beachlife
