So as if Kickboxing, Brazilian Jiu Jitsu, and Matt Costa's Psychoca-err...Boot Camp weren't enough options for fitness on the Outer Banks, we're now offering another way to keep you motivated to stay in shape. Devin Saylor is starting the first Outer Banks Paddle Board School's classes next week!

Paddle Boarding = Fun

Devin has been offering individual instructional classes for a while, but now he'll be offering a full beginner's level course. It's a great way to learn to paddle board without having to pay an instructor an arm and a leg for private lessons. Everyone who's gone has loved it, and it is a fun way to get in shape. There will be two camps: one in the AM and one in the PM.

The Break Down:

• It's a six day beginner's course.
• May 11 & 12, 17 & 18 and 23 & 24
• Classes are about 90 minutes
• AM camp is at 8:30, PM camp is 5:30
• All equipment is provided
• Both sound and ocean, dependent on the weather
• Only 14 spots total. Seven in the AM and seven in the PM

Devin, who also does Ocean Rescue,  has a full curriculum that begins with teaching safety and progresses into beginner stand-up paddle technique. After that, students will advance at their own pace.

If you want more info, make sure you check out the Outer Banks Paddle Board School on Facebook. This is a great way to stay in shape while learning a new skill just in time for summer.

Last Saturday was the Good Fight grappling tournament in Williamsburg, VA, and Morrison Butler, Gary Farrow and Steve Heinz went to compete. As expected, Team KnuckleUp performed great, and Gary and Morrison both brought home medals! When asked about their recent string of victories, Morrison says "The run we were on made Sinatra, Flynn, Jagger, Richards, all of them look like droopy-eyed, armless children." Read more

I Am a Punching Bag.

I weigh 200 pounds, I am six feet tall, and I'm going to laugh at you as you punch and kick me. I will not move, but you will not quit.

I sit, silently watching you do pushups next to me. I feel your legs clutching at me as you do sit-ups. I can smell the slightly acrid smell of your sweat, rich with adrenaline as the class pushes you further than you thought possible.

I hear the instructor barking out combos, 1-2-1-1-3-2. I see the apprehension pass fleetingly over your face as you try to remember the punches that those numbers mean and the look of satisfaction as it comes to you. I feel your blows, but they don’t faze me.

Every day, I watch you come and sweat. I see your pain. I see your struggle.

But I also see your triumphs.

Your Victories.

The way your face becomes tranquil as you find that sweet spot where your muscles take over, and your blows come with speed, force and, most importantly, determination.

No longer do you need to stop and catch your breath every ten minutes. Now you lead the class! You are lean, defined. You are strong!

Now, now I feel your punches as they land! Your kicks lift me off the ground! My chain keeps me tethered, but I swing madly!

And you never relent! Mercilessly, you throw combos that land viciously and accurately.

I feel the sting of every blow as it lands.

And I Am Proud of You.
