Carol and I met the nicest young couple at Fern Ridge Lake today. Rickie and Kaitlyn (sp?) had just come in from paddle boarding on the lake when we approached. The paddle boards were really neat, 9.5 feet long and about 3 feet across. They met in Hawaii and now live in the area. We were interested in what paddle boarding is like, so we got a demonstration which was much appreciated. We had a great time visiting with them, and I got permission to post a photo. If I were younger, I would be out there joining them. Of course, they are both very good at standing while boarding on the lake, but I would be sitting like this. :)
