Okay. Paddle-boarding is harder than it looks on YouTube.
Legs were a bit more wobbly than I expected, but I managed to stand up after a couple of attempts and didn't fall in. Had a paddle around for a while. Just me and the fishies. Calm, clear water. Good times. Can't get it to go straight, but figured it's shit paddling technique. One step at a time.
Parked up for a rest, then launched again. Managed to stand up first time! I'll be honest, I'm feeling pretty good about myself at this point. Still can't paddle straight though. Paddled around for a while longer then decided to call it quits while I'm ahead.
Parked up again (is there a nautical term for this?), picked up my board and realised that I'd forgotten to install the deep fin and take off my side fin protectors 🫢
That brought my ego firmly back into check.
