Paddleboarding: A Sunday Adventure

Image with me being stranded. In the middle of a body of water. With no clue how to get back.
Okay so maybe I’m being a bit dramatic. But this was me for about 5 minutes in the middle of Town Lake while simply attempting to turn my paddleboard around. Ridiculous, I know. But besides this lack of turning skills, I really did enjoy the SUP experience. It’s a relaxing activity, that honestly doesn’t require as much upper body power as I’d anticipated.

SUPatx offers free demos of paddleboarding every Sunday, you just have to sign-up for them on meetup.  Their crew is totally chill and willing to answer any questions, they’re great.
I will definitely be paddleboarding again soon. And maybe one day I’ll work up the courage to try this variation: http://www.kxan.com/dpp/health/new-craze%3A-yoga-paddle-boarding
