Winter Paddleboarding

Yes, it's only two days after Christmas, meaning it should be freezing outside. 

And yes, I went paddle boarding today. 

The weather the past few days has felt a lot more like the fall than the winter. So, today I took advantage of the comfortable temperature and finally got back on my paddleboard. Hopefully the weather will continue to be moderate within the next few days so I can paddle out again

The water was freezing, but it was so nice to be back on the water doing something I love (and normally only get to do a few months of the year). This year my goal is to enter some competitions, because I want to take this hobby to a slightly higher level. 

My parents made me bring along a lifejacket, even though I never bring one, because I am so comfortable both on the board and in the water. I understand their worries, but thankfully it was not used. 

Merry Christmas, and Happy (almost) 2015.
