Sanguine on the Water in Saguenay
"First you get on your knees like this. Then you stand up. Hold the paddle like this and start moving."
That is the extent of our stand-up paddleboarding lesson and we are off. One guy in my group makes an offhand remark that he once competed in a paddleboard marathon on a river though, so I figure if things go south I could always cling onto his board while he paddles to safety.
