K.I.S.S.
I am from the generation that used wooden crates, boards and broken roller skates to make scooters that we pushed with one foot. Dangling a piece of bacon on a string to catch crayfish was also a biggie when I was  a kid. Thing is, it was simpler time. We didn't have a TV until I was 8 years old and computers...what the heck are computers? This is was the kind of game boy that gave us hours of fun.

When I became a bigger boy I got some big boy toys and ended up with some magnificent sailing crafts. They were complicated and costly, and I spent more time servicing and cleaning them than I did actually sailing. Well, it all comes full circle. I found a simple "toy" with essentially no moving parts; and I have to use my own muscles to make it move. It cost a bit more than my home-made scooters (although I built a few of these as well), but I spend almost all my time playing with it rather than fixing or servicing it. Life is good.

Paddle safe...
