I recently decided to take up paddle boarding. Every time I take it out I have to carry my board that’s twice the size of me down to the public beach, drag it past a whole bunch of onlookers into the ocean and unsteadily climb on in full view of who knows how many people. I hate learning things in front of people. I like to learn something quietly in a back room and then emerge once I have it all figured out, so this has been a stretch for me. It’s so worth it though. Once I get it out there I never want to finish and come home.
You haven’t seen my boots!

At one point you were one of those silent onlookers wanting to give it a shot. We all start somewhere!
I felt like kicking that ball ⚽️. I am in the game.
Careful you don't get your toes stuck in its teeth.
