The Wave Board


So I was thinking of doing one of those "Wordless" posts. Then I realized that if I don't write something I would be going against my very nature. So here are a few words to go with this awesome photo of my son riding my wife's wave board.

Yes, you read that correctly. My wife had a wave board - not me and not my son (though he is really, really, good at it much to the amazement of the older kids at the skate park who are all just jealous that 9 year old can out move them).

Anyway I am a huge fan of nearly every sport and/or pseudo-sport invented. I used to make up games like soccer basketball and chase the weights (don't ask) to keep myself entertained as a kid. I think it is just great that my son would rather be outside having fun doing something that requires energy, coordination and self motivation instead of sitting inside typing on a blog. That is to say having a variety of interests is a good thing.

I want to make a note that I am not endorsing the wave board in particular as a toy. If you all want to go out and buy wave boards because this post inspired you then okay, but frankly that isn't the intent. Rather I just wanted to share a cool photo and say get out there and enjoy the nice weather (I hope it is nice where you live).
