Surfski shed

I have taken up another midlife crisis hobby. Those who can do it call it surfskiing. I usually call it capsizing. 

It is very popular with our Antipodean friends, who all seem to be tanned, ripped and make it look very easy, which it most definitely isn't. You sit on a bit of fibreglass which is about 6m long and barely wider than my hips. You then paddle until you meet a wave. Then you capsize. Then you struggle like hell to get back in without tipping it in again. Then you repeat until exhausted. Apparently it is exhilarating when you get the hang of it. Until that time, and I cannot imagine when it will be, it remains terrifying.
