Stand up Paddleboarding

[Devil Doll]

Has anyone done this? I am doing it tomorrow!! So excited I have never done anything like this but have always wanted to.

 

I may even get to meet a shark!  :D  :D http://www.ocearch.org/#SharkTracker

Do you know the restraint it would take for me not to jump in and swim with the shark?! 

[Tink]

ok you have lost the plot

 

call the men in the white coats!

I did a lot of wind surfing when I was your age. That's like paddle boarding but with out the paddle-- you let a sail do the work. That's more to my taste. And besides, given even a modest wind, you can outrun the sharks! DEFINITELY more to my taste!  :D  Have fun!

Have fun DD :d

[Doreensfree]

Remember, you are just a visitor in THEIR habitat. If you do get bit, remain calm and try not bleed into the water.

 

 

 Oh, and don't forget the sunscreen!!

[Devil Doll]

Unlikely that I will get bit as we are not a food source for them I have a better chance of being struck by lightning. ;)

[Still winning]

Wow! NO! Brave? Wow!

U-m-m-m, DevilDoll? I hate to tell you this--you're not a food source for lightning, either.   :D

[BAT]

Yes jump, says the little fishy. :)

[SanDar]

Have fun DD!

As for me,  I think I will stay on the shore and watch :)

[Devil Doll]

What an amazing experience! No shark :( but I did see dolphins!! :)

[Sazerac]

How far out did you get ?  Was the water rough, calm or ?  

[Devil Doll]

I was in the water more than I was on the board S. Lol I suck at balance and I trip on flat surfaces all of the time. No, the water was not calm at all. I was past my comfort zone with depth too. I am a "if my feet don't touch" panicker. I will definitely do this again though. We all had a blast.

[Sazerac]

were you in open ocean ?  could you see land ?  dolphins !!!!  flying fish ?  photos ?

[Devil Doll]

We were on the beach. Oh no I could see the shore. I think that our instructors took pictures. :D

[Tink]

dolphins are good sharks are good when not near :)

 

 

glad you had a good time it looks like fun but the shark comment and this chick aint doing it i tell ya :)

[Sazerac]

With all the water around you, I bet you could go lots of places on a board.

Do you have alligators ? 

[Devil Doll]

Yes we do have alligators or crocs (difference?). They show up on the beach sometimes too. I think there was one recently that was hanging out on Tybee.

 

I love sharks Tracey. Love them. One of my bucket list items is to free swim with a Great White. I was hoping that I would get to see a shark today. There was a tiger (shark) recently tagged near here.

 

Lmao the only place I kept going on the board was into the water, I suck at balance and grace.
