I got a chance yesterday to try a new sport for the very first time... stand-up paddle surfing. Wow. It was awesome! It challenged my balance, coordination, agility, accuracy, stamina, and endurance... simultaneously! With the swell coming from one direction, wind from another, and chop from a third... it totally kept me on my toes (actually for the first hour, more like on my a**). And since I insisted on going out on a narrower, more advanced board, the learning curve was even steeper. But, I did get it... enough to stay up for 10 - 15 min at a time, and I left definitely wanting more... like riding in my first wave!

When's the last time you tried something totally new? Pick something that sounds fun and go do it. Life's short. Don't wait.


Yes, sometimes higher brain function is required.
