Giving the kneeboard a workout

"The water is your friend. You don't have to fight with water, just share the same spirit as the water, and it will help you move." ~Aleksandr Popov

Kneeboarding is an acquatic sport.  My first clue that I wouldn't be good at kneeboarding should have been the word - sport.

Last year while camping at Mark Twain Lake, I tried kneeboarding. I tried over and over again to get myself up on the kneeboard. I actually got up on the board but don't blink because you would likely miss it. 

One year later, I am back at Mark Twain Lake, back on a boat and once again in the water trying to get my big ole behind on a tiny little flat object floating in the water.  After three or four tries, I finally got myself up on the kneeboard and for a few brief moments I was gliding across the water.  It was quite a workout getting on the kneeboard. Staying on it not as much.

All adults and children on the boat feared I would be in pain this morning when I got out of bed.  I didn't dispute it. I was certain I might experience a number of aches and pains. Fortunately that wasn't the case and I was one of the first up this morning ready to go!
