Feeling young still, except:

A group of my contemporaries and I have been kayak surfing the Lake since high school. Autumn is when the best conditions come up due to storm activity. It's also when the water temp plunges to the freezing level.

Maybe older is smarter, but I can't bring myself to pull on the wetsuit and let the Lake beat me into the sandy, rocky bottom anymore. I gave it up two years ago, and miss it dearly. Miss it, but can't suffer the physical abuse like I used to. There are younger surfers that have started to replace our original group...the circle of life?

Hard to feel young when there are things I'm just not willing to do anymore
