Jamie basically stinks at everything. She's at least good at schoolwork, but even then, she thinks she's at the bottom of her grade 8 class. She's only 14, and when you can't stand babysitting, and are a teenager in 2015, it's difficult to land a job. She hates sports, and is genuinely bad at them anyway. She has next to no friends, except for a boy named Conner, who lives out of town and has his own set of friends aside from Jamie. There is, however, one passion Jamie has. Kayaking. Not canoeing. Not Stand-up Paddle Boarding. Kayaking. This summer, Jamie signed herself up for a rather intense kayaking race in Quebec. Her mom and step-dad are cool with it, but Jamie is second-guessing herself. The race is three days away from her grade 8 graduation, and the odds of winning are stacked against her. With the help of Conner and her mom, can she beat the odds and succeed?

There's nothing quite like the excitement of making the decision to learn a new sport. And with Stand Up Paddle Boarding, or SUP, you picked a good one to learn. I'm sure you already have visions of slicing through waves on a perfect day, taking in the incredible scenery while also doing your body a favor with a great workout. SUP has so much to offer, no wonder it's been taking the world by storm in the last few years. Most beginners opt for an "all around" type of board that offers the best of all worlds. The most important thing for a beginner is that you want a board that is easy to stand up on! When you're learning the sport it's a good idea to start slow and work your way up to different levels and boards as you go. SOURCE- https://irockersup.ca/
