I can't even imagine standing up on a paddleboard let alone paddling anywhere. The best present for your dad's birthday was the wonderful kayaking experience. I'm a great believer in gifting experiences. My birthday is a day after your dad's and my daughter took me out to lunch while her husband babysat. It sounds ordinary but we haven't done that in 11 months so it was kinda special. Amazing photos and story as usual and thanks for mentioning my snorkelling story.
