SUP

We went to a lake today, where they have a beach where dogs are welcome. This is great, even though I am not fond of taking baths. I just swam for a little while. 

When we arrived, there were two women there with one of these Stand Up Paddle board, SUP board. The younger woman tried to use the SUP board for a while, and the other woman supported her. Apparently, it was not easy. The younger woman could not steer properly and fell into the water a few times. She gave up rather quickly.

If it is this hard to use a SUP board, I cannot see the allure of them. You sit down in an ordinary canoe and it is quite easy to learn how to use it and to steer. Why, then, would you want to use a much more difficult SUP board? If you want to learn how to use it, why give up so quickly that the younger woman did? Humans are strange sometimes.
