Pulled out some kayak gear today, everything looks too small or too tight. Started singing: "I'm too sexy for my skirt too sexy for my skirt So sexy it hurts" Okay, maybe not.

Been there, done that, all too true. Will undoubtedly eventually outgrow my cockpit.

OK, so this isn't exactly a kayaking story, but it's been pretty slow around here lately, and I find this young girls passion vaguely reminiscent, if not inspirational. http://www.ocregister.com/articles/day-356761-days-surf.html *************************************************************************** PaddleWise Paddling Mailing List - Any opinions or suggestions expressed here are solely those of the writer(s).

Great story. Hopefully she doesn't get obsessed and take unnecessary risks... There was a guy who climbed Mount Monadanock in New Hampshire every day for 8 years - 2850 consecutive days. Pneumonia eventually ended streak. http://www.ledgertranscript.com/article/beyond-the-mountain Four waves aren't worth it just to keep a streak going...

I read that at the source! Pretty inspiring and shows where the greats of a sport start from. I've kayaked at San O where I didn't want to get near the outside break and it wasn't anywhere near 15'! In general, I like punching through waves, but the constant sets coming in to San O can really tire you out before you even get out to where you can take a ride. Of course, I'm an old man and started rather old in life, so I'll be happy to ride the occasional six footers! Still, I'd like to go there some day when the 15 footers are coming in, just to see how hard it is to handle the white water reaching the shore.

This comment about it being too tight reminds me . . . A many about town had a headache that would not go away. A sharp pain in his head, just above his right ear. Drugs did not work, scans showed everything normal, and the doctors could do nothing. Eventually, one neurologist told him that there was one cure, if he was willing to accept the consequences...he would have to be castrated. After several years of almost unbearable pain, he was willing to take this dramatic step. After recovering from surgery, he tried to re-start his life. One thing he did was go out and get some new clothes. He went to a little shop in his neighbourhood, run by a wizened old eastern-European immigrant, to order a couple of new suits. The proprietor sized him up pretty quickly, estimating measurements and body shape, and making notes. He took a few measurements which always matched his estimates. There was a discount on anything else he bought at the same time, so the customer decided to get some socks and underwear, and other basics, and started listing what he wanted, and the sizes. "Size 32 undershorts, about 6 pairs," he said. "Size 34," responded the proprietor. "You need size 34." "No, size 32 is what I have been wearing for years and years," the customer responded. But the proprietor replied, "no, size 34. If you wear size 32, you is a gonna get a pain right here," he said as he pointed to a spot right above his right ear.
