Diving ‘head first’ into stand-up paddle boarding

It sounded so fun and I’m game for (almost) anything sports-wise, so stand-up paddle boarding was calling me for a try.

Mind Your Body Gamble The Last Ride

Getting over it and jumping ahead

I used to be invincible, or so I thought. Now I’m a cautious—okay, sometimes nervous—female baby boomer in Southern California who thinks: “If it ain’t broke, don’t break it.” For just a few bucks What “was” can change to what “is” in one terrifying instant.
