5 Reasons You Should Try Paddle-boarding

The key for a great paddle boarding experience is to make sure you go out when the waters are nice and calm. The last thing you want is for turbulence to knock you down each time you try to get on! Here are some of my favorite things I look forward to when paddle boarding.

You get to watch a beautiful sunset over the water.

Picture this: There's a beautiful sunset over the horizon and you're excited to countdown. The last thing you want is for someone to sit in front of your view. If you paddle during the sunset you are going to get the best views on the beach!

If you get lucky you will see some dolphins.

Being able to paddle far out means you'll have a higher chance to encounter some marine life. If you paddle early in the morning you might even see some dolphins swimming around.

It's a test to see how great (or not so great) your balance can be!

Do you think you have good balance? Test it out by trying to stand on a paddle board. It may look easy but it requires more balance than you think!

You can make it a party and paddle with a friend!

Paddle boards can fit more than one person. If you do not want to paddle alone, bring a friend! It will require more balance coordination but that makes it even more fun and adventurous.

Makes for great Instagram pictures.

If you didn't take a picture while paddle boarding did you even go? Check out Pinterest for some great paddle boarding picture ideas!

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
