Vi and Ridell are awesome neighbors! They bought a ranch a couple of hours from Sisal 16 years ago. About 6 years ago they moved to the beach two houses down from us and took in these newbies shortly after we arrived. The ranch is on the market, but hasn’t sold yet, so they were …
I’ve done a lot of paddling while I was sitting down, but my sweetheart (Carma) has loved doing it standing up. Who am I to argue with someone I love this much. So I was excited.
