# SUP at Lake Pleasant - Link: https://mywalkabout.net/sup-at-lake-pleasant/ - Published: 2018-06-15T05:04:32-07:00 - Author: My Walkabout I’ve dropped twenty pounds or so since November of last year. My energy level has gone through the roof, and I always thought I was pretty active before. ![](https://i0.wp.com/mywalkabout.net/wp-content/uploads/2018/06/IMG_7069.jpg?resize =640%2C480&ssl=1) But this new energy has led me down a path of new adventures, and so is the beginning of the story of my Stand Up Paddle board. Purchased last month, I take her out to Lake Pleasant for our inaugural run. I get here a little after sunrise and start the day slowly paddling along the silky smooth waters. ![](https://i0.wp.com/mywalkabout.net/wp-content/uploads/2018/06/HipstamaticPhoto- 547833543.346544.jpg?resize=640%2C457&ssl=1) After a couple of hours, the winds and boats churn up the chop, and it takes every ounce of strength I have to not fall and make my way back to the shoreline. I chill on the beach with my mid morning PBR, and revel in my small accomplishment. I’m excited for a summer full of time at the various lakes, paddling without a care in the world. Age is just a number, never forget that. ### Share this: * [ Email ](https://mywalkabout.net/sup-at-lake-pleasant/?subject=%5BShared%20Post%5D%20SUP%20at%20Lake%20Pleasant&body=https%3A%2F%2Fmywalkabout.net%2Fsup-at-lake-pleasant%2F&share=email) * [Post](https://x.com/share) * [Share on Tumblr](https://www.tumblr.com/share) * [ WhatsApp ](https://mywalkabout.net/sup-at-lake-pleasant/?share=jetpack-whatsapp) * [ Nextdoor ](https://mywalkabout.net/sup-at-lake-pleasant/?share=nextdoor) * [ Threads ](https://mywalkabout.net/sup-at-lake-pleasant/?share=threads) * [[ * [Tweet](https://twitter.com/share) * [ Reddit ](https://mywalkabout.net/sup-at-lake-pleasant/?share=reddit) ### Like this: Like Loading…
