Being a water baby, I was excited (albeit a little nervous) about my first-ever stand up paddle board lesson with Eddie from NZ Boardstore. After some handy hints about how to hold my paddle, a few choice instructions and a bit of practise on the grass, he helped me glide gently out into the calm waters of the Meola Reef inlet feeling as in control as I possibly could. He even promised me there was no way I would fall in and that gave me enough confidence to get my stroke on as we ventured out and around the reef. With lots of direction and heaps of helpful hints, I was soon SUP'ing like the best of them and really enjoying this whole new experience on the water. You see, paddleboarding feels like in-the-water meditation because it's such a calming experience as you coast along. And the sport is being embraced by Kiwi women all over the country as it's also a fantastic way to flatten your core, which is why Eddie says many of his returning students are mums who are seeking a fun way to get fit over summer. And it's no wonder they keep coming back for lessons at NZ Boardstore. After just an hour under Eddie's tutelage, I felt strong on my stand up paddleboard and well in control. We even managed to have a race! Sure, he won but next time I'll be back with my friends and this time we'll really take him on. Go on, get out on the water and do what you ought'a!
