Though not too close – my balance is dreadful!
Having said that, I was surprised to find myself agreeing to a stand-up paddle board lesson,
and ultimately not falling off.
Tony Henry runs stand up paddle board lessons for individuals and groups at Clareville beach, near Avalon.
(he’s pretty relaxed out there)…
Once I got brave enough to stand up straight (fighting every vertiginous fibre in my brain) I loved it.
I was out on the water, exercising, and yet feeling a fantastic peace as the water made a flup sound, breaking against the bottom of my board.
Of course, there was no challenge for the kids to stand up…
or give each other doublers
So much fun!
Tony also hires the boards out (for, ahem, experienced people like myself), so I’m going back down there one pretty morning soon with my proper camera, to get some photos and have another paddle.
Thanks Tony!
