It's always a treat for me when I can spend an afternoon reading my Coastal Living Magazine! Today I was so excited when I saw that this months issue had a story on paddling! This last summer I mentioned to Carl that since we were a bit aways from the ocean, I'd like to take up paddling. I looked up this website and fell in love in an instant!
YOLO stands for You Only Live Once! How fantastic is that?!! I read all I could about this company and am so excited to save up for one of these beauties! Our whole family will enjoy it next summer...and the best bit? Not only is it FUN but it's also great exercise!! Check out what owner Brody Welte, Personal Trainer, Recreation Leader and Adventure Guide says about it:

"Stand up paddling is such a fun and useful tool to help out our country’s biggest health problem, being sedentary. Most people are a short drive from some form of water, whether it is the crystal clear blue waters of Hawaii and Florida, the chilly waters of the Great Lakes or your local river, lake or pond. There are very few “exercises” that are as all encompassing, full body, functional workout that are this much fun. Stand up paddling will open the door for people to live the healthy lifestyle that we need. If you have not tried stand up paddling you need to find out the about the fun you have been missing. It is a fantastic way to get started being active and being healthy."
So are you sold? I sure am...see you out in the water...Kristen

Hmmm! I live on Long Island and my kids do a lot of surfing, I have never seen paddling like this before but am sure going to send my son the link--thanks for the heads up!
