Being on the older side,I really enjoy boating because of the people and it help to keep me young.Enjoy watching the younger and how they throw down on the river. Of course I try to also do some of the tricks and the KEY word is try. Also kind of a wimp only paddle in the warm months ; wife and myself mountain bike in colder weather. My wife is the GOOD BOATER of course she has been boating for over 20 years. To all have a Great Day !! Jim
