The weather was sunny but chilly and breezy last weekend, so we decided on a whim to head down to VA Beach to try a little wave action on our ShuBu's.
When we got to VA Beach...what we found was not ideal.
Winds were so strong there was no clear breaking direction.
And it was FREEZING!
So....we ended up heading back to the place that got us on Stand Up Paddleboards again....Surf and Adventure Shop in Sandbridge.
The S&A crew let us put in behind the shop even though we didn't rent anything from them....but it looked much different this go-round. The water was lower, more stagnant. It wasn't as beautiful as I'd remembered...but it was still flat water.
We pumped up our boards and took turns staying with Kozy (as we planned to take him on the boards at the beach, not here).
While it wasn't nearly as windy on this water...the water was still very, very cold, so we didn't do anything silly that would possibly put us into the water.
I wish I could report that we had a fantastic time paddling this area...but we just...didn't.
We weren't prepared for the cold, and we definitely weren't prepared for having Kozy not come with us on the boards.
However, we still made the best of the situation. And next time...we will prepare.
Kozy-Hug!!!!
