No, I’m not pulling your leg. And that’s not just because I can’t reach it. Seriously, though, there is such a thing called paddleboarding (done with a paddle and a board…obviously), and it’s super fun! After kayaking early this morning with my dad (after all, today is Father’s Day), we came back into shore and I, bored again quickly as usual, searched for something else to do. I spied what looked like a surfboard on the ground. It had an odd-looking paddle on top of it. I’d heard that the ELC had a paddle board, and since I’d seen all of the ELC’s equipment except it and never seen the surfboard-ish thing, I figured that it had to be the paddleboard (whew…that was complicated!). Then I picked up the paddleboard (I asked Will, don’t worry) and dragged it out into the ocean. I clambered up onto it, trying not to tip over, and finally stood up holding the paddle. I began to paddle around, and had a blast except for the one time that I spilt and fell into the water  after a strong wave. Next time you happen to be near a paddleboard, I highly suggest that you try it because, spills and all, it was one of the most fun things I’ve done in a while!
