Paddling Into The Sunset

 If you have ever tried paddleboarding, then you totally know how relaxing and fun it is. My friend and I have been obsessing over the sport recently. All we think about on the weekend is going paddleboarding...we're even thinking of getting our own board, that's how obsessed and dedicated we are. I mean, we live in Souther California, the weather is gorgeous and it's pretty much summer all year round, am I right?

 One day I hope to be as skilled and awesome as the girl in the picture above. For those of you who have not tried paddleboarding, I highly recommend you find a groupon deal and give it a try; there's no harm in trying right?

I had my first paddleboarding session in Hawaii last year. Something about it made me want to try it. I had seen people riding the board calmly on the ocean and it immediately caught my attention. They all looked so graceful taking in the water, letting the sound of the water hit the board graciously.

Then I learned a new fact about paddleboarding...not only can you enjoy the sport at a calm pace, I learned that there are competitions for paddleboarding, races, and you can surf the waves...only difference is you have a paddle to help you move even faster. It's quite a site to see.

At the moment I am still in the novice/beginner stage of paddleboarding experience, I look more like the girl here. Taking it all in, enjoying the view, the sunset, the sounds. I hope to someday be able to do yoga on the board, master the balance and art of paddleboarding...not to mention be badass on riding waves. 

Until next time, XO
