    WTF?

    I’m wondering what in the world a paddleboard is good for. Why would I want to get on one? They’re slow, undependable, instable, means of transportation and you can’t really take anything on them. Useless. A surfboard with no surf.

    Next, we’ll tackle paddleboard shorts once we’ve figured out the boards.

    Believe it or not, I've wondered the same. To me, you summed it up with: "A surfboard with no surf."

    Paddleboard shorts? You moron, those are shorts .... but if you have a paddleboard, they're paddleboard shorts. Duh ...

    Any more dumb questions this morning?

    The next lesson will address sneakers, tennis shoes and gym shoes.

    They are mainly and exercise thing. They are suppose to be a really good core workout base on stabilizing and paddling at the same time.

    You couldn't use a surfboard. Then it could be qualified as a "dual-purpose board"!

    No idea, although I think the paddle boards are wider. Hey, they lost me at exercise.

    WTF?

    They are really popular on the lakes around here. They even have a paddleboard yoga class on my lake.

    We got one for my son for his birthday last year. He really likes it. It is a good core workout like Hombre said.

    Here he is when he first got it and was just getting used to balancing on it.

    But that’s nowhere near as relaxing as doing it on the water with boats and PWCs buzzing you making big waves.
