I'm Back In Action, Baby!

Yup, I'm back in action baby!

A couple days ago I wrote in the last post about how bummed out I was over breaking my new water camera.  The real sting of it was that it's been bounced around reefs (usually with me on top of it), juggled through waves, and tossed through all kinds of whitewater- but it took me doing a simple, somewhat boring  photo shoot for PTS company business to break it (it was in my pocket and someone accidentally tapped it lightly with a door and the LCD screen schattered in 3 pieces).

Man, I was heartbroken.  Thus, the previous post.

Then after dealing with the reality for a day, and the way life so often works- the good news came:

 A. I actually had a warrantee on the thing and could get a new one sent to me.  B. The camera still worked, I just had to take a photo of the cracked screen, guess what I was taking because the viewer screen doesn't work, and use a little superglue.

Oh, the SuperGlue.

I know a lot of you were laughing at me when I texted you and posted the facebook question of:

Just out of curiosity, anyone know how to get ur fingers unstuck when u accidentally SuperGlue them together. This sucks.  Help!

Ah, what can I say.  I've only used SuperGlue a couple of times in my life and never realized how quick the stuff dries. 

A classic Lincoln moment as I'm sure you all know.

Anyway, SuperGlued the cracks in the LCD camera to insure it stayed waterproof and was content with the fact that I would just have to guess what I was shooting.  Love it.

Also way stoked on the fact that my friends Tanya and Art invited me to join their Wednesday Women's Humpday PaddleBoarding morning session.

And there I was.

Who me?  You want me to join you with a dozen or so other beautiful girls for a fun morning of surfing, paddleboarding, and shooting it with my now Ghetto SuperGlued camera.  Sure, why not.  Love too.

And I did.

Oh I so did.

Arrived at 6:30 in the morning at their Condo on the beach, Park Blvd, and wasted no time in hopping in the kayak and joining the group.  The Park Blvd. Condo complex is a watermen's/waterwomen's paradise to begin with.  And you add the slew of beautiful people and the fact that they have a ton of paddleboards, kiteboards, kayaks, surfboards, foilboards, Ocean dingeys, the works, well... you know... It's a Party!  It's a Party!

Oh what a blast.  Please feel free to check out their website at http://www.puertoricopaddle.com/

Ocean Park Condo, Ocean P.O.V.

So we're out there having a blast.   When we reach the break, about a half mile to mile paddle out but all fun, I waste no time in anchoring the kayak to the bottom and jumping in the water with my fins, camera, mask, and beautiful women surrounding me.

And then the real fun begins.

Everyone was experienced at all different levels.   Some ripped and some were just happy to be out there laughing and paddling with the gang. 

One thing about PaddleBoarding, almost anyone can do it.  It's like standing on a giant long surfboard and moving through the water via... well, you guessed it, with a paddle.

If you can stand, you can Paddle.  And if you can't, then you can do it like my dumbass and on your knees.

Just kidding.  I stand on the thing and rip, except when I'm falling off every ten or fifteen seconds.  But that's just me.

Anyone can do it and it's a blast.

At one point in time I looked over and saw that my achored Kayak seemed to be a good distance away than I remembered it.  

LINK:  Uh, Art, might want to keep an eye out on that puppy.  I could of swore it was anchored pretty good, but uh...

ART:  No, it's drifting.  No worries bro.  I'm on it.

Art paddles over to the Yak and safes the day as usuall, anchoring it firmly to the reef on the inside.

Loving it.

And hope you are too.

And I'm here and you're there.

And yet we're still just a laugh away.

And this is all here whenever you feel like a little getaway.

And I'll always be coming round your way soon.

Miss u guys.

Sunny Skies, baby.  Sunny Skies.
