Here’s my 2 cents worth. This was my first NSPN paddle and my FIRST ocean paddle. I had an absolute blast. I wanted to challenge myself. Even though I questioned my intentions during the beach briefing, I am so glad I stuck with it and went out “just beyondâ€. Not only did I have fun (once my left knee stopped shaking), but I thrived and can’t wait to do it again. I was with a great group of paddlers and I really appreciated the experience. Thanks again to all!
