PADDLE BOARDING

 POST BORACAY TAN with the Sex Bomb Dancers and 

my dear friend, Jackie.

I got so addicted to paddle boarding that despite my SPF 100 sunblock, I got burned 

through and through in my recent trip to Boracay. In fact, in our 5-day stay, I only discovered it on our last two days but I did it for hours that resulted  to  this unintentional tan. 

The paddle board is like a surf board which you stand on and navigate with a paddle. For beginners, one can kneel down on the board.

Once you get the strokes then 

you can progress to standing.

Turning is the most challenging because the board has a tendency to tilt to the side where 

you want to turn especially if the wind and the waves are strong but despite these rough conditions, I only fell once.

This is when I realized that 

all the core training 

I've been doing since 

January was worth it.

In the end, all the exercise I do is something that helps me to enjoy life, and discover things that I may never try if I knew 

I was not fit enough to do it.

Plus, I must've been the only 43-year old confident enough to paddle board in a bikini.
