Stand Up Paddleboards in Dana Point Harbor

Once again I was out in my kayak with my camera......this is what I shot: Stand Up Paddleboards in Dana Point Harbor.
The large group was from a local High School. This was a class they could take and get credit for!

Looks like good exercise, and likely they get a credit in Physical Education. To me, it makes a tremendous amount of sense offering students "life sports" rather than the old useless crapola we once took in high school P.E. When I was in college I had two P.E. requirements. I took SCUBA and tennis. I can't begin to tell you how often I used those skills later in life.
Nice images.
Nice images.

Can they read - or write - or do math? No, but they paddle well...

Wow! That is a very condescending, negative comment about young adults you have never met.

Just curious has to how you transport your camera before, between and after shooting images. Do you have a dry-bag or anything the camera resides in unless you are actually photographing something/someone? I will be doing some paddling around Christmas and New Year's and haven't decided what to do with the camera when I am not actually using it.

Great shots as usual! Always enjoy your perspective on all things water!

Considering that the kids today are not taught cursive writing, proper math or proper grammar - take a look around - they need a computer to make change, they can't balance a check book, can't read cursive or sign documents and seem to be limited to 140 characters in Twitter... In reading the tweets out there - no punctuation, incorrect grammar and misspellings... I don't think I'm being condescending - just stating the obvious...

Perhaps you forgot that times have changed. The world is a different place now. Not all kids fit your mold. Those kids on those paddle boards will become doctors, lawyers and Indian chiefs. Technology happened. It isn't their fault.

And we wonder why so many of the school systems have gone to h_ _l, and the kids don't get good jobs. Many the colleges have had to develop remedial courses in math, English, history--many High Schools don't even bother with that, Sciences, etc.

You're right - it's not their fault - that failure falls directly on the shoulders of their parents... And the future doctors, lawyers, and Indian Chiefs will be the top performers leaving the average behind to become sheeple...
