I have become the cookie monster. My appetite is insatiable. When you're in 50 degree water everyday kiting or surfing or SUPing, your metabolism skyrockets. Today I went for an hour and a half paddle in the Sound. I'm starting to get a feel for stand up...or as they say here "dialed in". I'm getting dialed in...at least in the flat water.
Today the sky was cold dark gray and the Sound was glassy flat. I had it all to myself. Not a soul around except me and my 11 foot Takayama. Soon I'll be taking it into the surf. But you have to crawl before you can walk. I have to get my endurance up. I have to work on my bracing and sweep strokes with the paddle. AND...I need speed. All of this in preparation of paddling into the perfect wave, accelerating into the pocket and going down the line. That's surfer talk for catching my first wave on a SUP (stand up paddle board).
Until then, it's time for another trip to the Food Lion. I'm eating us out of house and home!
