Re: [Paddlewise] speed

Thanks, Bill.  I think that's bringing it back to where it belongs - at
least for me.  A friend of mine told me (just before I went for my first
surf lesson) that when she took her first lesson the instructor said to
her, "Do you know what the most important thing is?," to which she
responded, "Yes, to stay up."  And the ibstructor said, "No. To have
fun."

We do too many things because we have to do them or because we "ought" to
do them.  Kayaking is something to do because we want to do it.  Whatever
"it" is - watching the birds, enjoying the outdoors, or rolling, bracing
and playing in the surf.
