I am so pleased to say that paddleboarding seemed easier than surfing (so I did not fall off the board as many times as when I went surfing!) It could be because the board is bigger, which makes it easier to balance. Or it could be that I felt like an ole pro after surfing. Or. . .the most likely reason: I went paddleboarding in the lagoon so the water was calm! I did not have to battle the waves like other paddleboarders; I just stayed in my little section of the lagoon.
After getting the hang of it, I was racing people for fun and jumping on the board. Perhaps I was getting a little too much into it, because then I asked one of my friends, Kyle (from Buffalo, NY) if she wanted to combine our paddleboards and both paddleboard at the same time. I don't know why I did not think about the possibility of doing the splits when my right foot was on my paddleboard and my left foot was on hers, but I clearly did not think about it! I will just tell you that I wish I would have gotten that wipe-out on video because it probably looked very hilarious!
Here is some math:
Paddleboarding = Fun. Splits = ouch. Standing on 2 paddleboards = Splits which also = ouch
