it appears i have invented a new sport. it is called paddle surfing. i am quite good at it actually.
it goes like this. you used to ride head high and below pretty regularly. then for reasons only god knows, you have to spend a year plus out of the water. then you start to get into it again. but now you paddle and paddle and paddle and paddle and paddle and paddle and paddle and paddle and paddle and paddle and paddle and paddle some more

you paddle out. you paddle to catch the wave. you paddle some more. so the sport i now excel in is PADDLE SURFING!!!!!!!!!!!!
now dont fret and frown boys and girls. The Big Kahuna will ride waves again, but for this short duration he is KING of the Paddle Surfers!!!!!!!!!!!!
and let me tell you this as well. for this old fart, out of shape paddler, who is getting stronger daily

, a day in the ocean paddling not catching waves is by FAR a good day indeed

and i am not even joking......................peace...........todd. ...............><}}}}}'>................
