Just looking at the paddle board gives me shivers down to my toes. Stepping onto something that looks unstable makes me more nervous. It drifts away as I try to get on, one leg on the step and one leg slowly drifting away from me.
I take a risk and jump to it without thinking for a second. I feel unsteady and wobbly as I collect my confidence . No matter what position I stand I feel like I am going to fall off. I kneeled down until I feel steady and confident enough to stand up .I stood up and kept stiff.Small waves and a bit of wind came gushing towards me and pushing into the coldish water.
I try to jump up but I kept slipping so I push myself up because it was cold.Once I got up I was shaking even more, not wanting to fall again. Pushing with my paddle I glide smoothly across the lake.Going further out to the lake I gained more and more confidence as it seemed so peaceful. Not watching where I was going I bump into someone and fall again. This time I was FREAKING OUT because we were so far out and just wondering what could be in the water. I spring up quickly and paddled so fast I was already in the shallow. Then I fall off again because someone bumped into me.
