yolo boarding!

 last year, while we were driving home from our vacation
dan mentioned that he wondered if savannah would 
be interested in YOLO boarding with him next year.
a father daughter graduation event sorta thing.
well she was all over it.

there were really only two mornings that would work for them ligitistically & yet
yesterday we woke up to dark clouds.
both dan & i got caught in a deluge
during our morning runs.
being the professional worrier that i am, i feared they wouldn't be able to get over there
& get up on the boards.

which stands for you only live once
is the brain child of two guys down here on the gulf coast,
stand up paddleboarding which can be either in the lake
or the ocean
(they got up on the boards in the ocean too)
& is becoming all the rage.

thankfully the rained stopped just a few minutes prior to their scheduled time!

they LOVED it!

  1. Paige! How fun is that?! I'm impressed with their balancing 'skills!' LOVE Seaside. I'm so sad that we won't be going there this summer. We live too close to east coast beaches...(3 hours to Kiawah v. 11 to Seaside) with 3 little ones....no brainer. Keep the Seaside pics coming so I get my fill!!!

  4. We were just in Watercolor last week and took that electric boat ride. I can hardly wait for my kids to get older so we can use the YOLO board. And you're so good about posting pictures! Mine are still on the computer but I got them off the camera.

  5. This looks like alot of fun. I think I'd even be willing to try if it weren't for having an extreme fear of sharks and alligators. Do you think they make them pool size. ha!

    I can see you're all having a great time and hope you don't get much rain.

  12. I've never heard of YOLO boarding! It must feel like you are walking on water standing out there. Your photos are Uh-May-Zing!!! The colors are exquisite. I love the rainbow shot, and the flag, and the dock and YOLO boards. The colors just pop! Next time, Dan needs to photograph you out there because, you know, you only live once! ;-)!

  16. Dear Paige,

    Looks like they're using a lot of
    leg muscles there.

    Savannah reminds me of the ladies
    in Hawaii in the last few pictures.

    Best,

    Coastal Blue Ocean
