Higher centre of gravity?

Sure you can! Just take a lesson and start out in flat water. I did and discovered that SUPs are really easy to get back on. Haven’t purchased one yet - maybe I’ll win one in the Pcom contest (and pigs fly).

I was recently watching kayak & SUP videos and they had me laughing like a mental patient! This one girl though, in an SUP video set to some hip-hop music, went down over and over and over, but never went into the drink … at least not in the video. I was VERY impressed!

Anyway, the videos also convinced me that I’m sticking to my canoes. One day, maybe a kayak, and that’s a BIG MAYBE, but I feel like I need to learn a bit more here before I literally take the kayak plunge.

Make that a flock of pigs.

Do what? Use the reverse side of the blade and reverse your grip so it’s backwards too? You can, but don’t let any of us see you do it. Little kids get a free pass on things like that.

An Imbalance of Skuldugerous Scoundrels, I Tell Ya!

Rotten little gypsy looks out looking forward,
to absenteeism midst the live-aboards,
peering in portholes from paddleboard perch,
picking Apples and poaching Samsungs in marina besmirch.

Nah. Just sight-seeing midst the diesel-fumed bilgewater.

Every year at the AzPaddlefest a bunch of young women do synchronized Yoga on paddleboards.

I didn’t know anybody could do that.

Of course if I tried to do that the boat would be a lot lower in the water.

I propose a contest whereby you submit a video trying this. The winner gets … well, my respect for sure.

Because at some point you discover the joys of sitting down to enjoy nature. :slight_smile:
