Stand Up Paddle Boarding

It is a long weekend here in British Columbia, and today was a nice 24 degrees Celsius.

I had mentioned to R. that I wanted to try Stand Up Paddle Boarding (SUP) and she graciously offered to lend me her inflatable paddle board.

R. and I headed to Willows Beach with R.’s inflatable stand up paddle board and inflatable raft.

I have fallen in love with SUP. I didn’t get to the point of standing up but did kneel and paddle. (I have discovered muscles I don’t use much in my everyday life.)

After paddling we headed to cafe and got some food… and that is when we noticed there was a sign cautioning people of the high levels of bacteria in the water. (Good thing we didn’t fall in).

We did wash our hands in the bathroom with soap, so hopefully we are okay. And I took a shower when I got home.. but there really should be more signs up.

Besides that, a great day on the beach and on the water.

Can’t wait to go out again.
