Paddleboard

Well, first of all, when I’m out there, I never feel more alive,” he says. He’ll tell them of the wrasse fish, lost from the gulf stream, straight out of “Finding Nemo,” that swam alongside him for three hours. “We’re going to have to commandeer your vessel,” the constable said. “It was perfectly framed, like a movie poster,” Nagler recalls. “And I laughed. All in the name of finding out where his “outside limit” might be. “I’d made it through all the lanes and put out my sea anchor.” “I thought it was a sandbar. He takes a swig of an orange drink and pours the rest over his head. He had to disembark and go to urgent care in Virginia Beach. Nagler’s only source of nourishment on the board is a liquid diet — electrolyte powder and some warm water. “He’s [expletive] crazy,” Collins says with a laugh.

Every time I went out on the river I felt good about it, and proud of myself, and every time I decided that I would rather do other things I felt bad and furtive about it, and every time I checked my tide app (the river is tidal, OK?) or my wind app I felt like I was making a claim about who I was and I felt both good about it and ridiculous. And then it had been about a year since I bought my inflatable and I was out on the river paddling back to where I had parked, which was against the wind. I was really working hard, which was fine, because I had known that it was going to be windy and had calibrated the distance accordingly. But it was still a pain in the ass, and every time the paddle came out of the water for a second the board lurched in an ungraceful fashion. So I took the lesson and then I took another lesson and then I rented a paddleboard from them and then I did it again, and eventually I went out and bought an inflatable paddleboard of my very own. (The river is tidal!) I didn’t get much better at it (I have thought about this Jaya Saxena essay on pole dancing at least once a month since it came out) but I got more comfortable. There are secret beaches and secret stairways — there is a giant set of white steps in Echo Park that I encountered for the first time in the moonlight and that felt as close to magic as anything ever has, a magic undimmed if irrevocably altered by the fact that I later learned that they were a central part of Eric Garcetti’s daily workout plan—and then there are places that are not secret at all, but are almost impossible to get to without time and money. Then, later that summer, I was walking by the river where I live, and I saw a stranger on a paddleboard. When I showed up for the tour, the guy who was supposed to be giving a tour was not there because his boat had broken down in a neighboring county. The instructor was exactly the sort of person who makes paddleboarding seem cool; she was maybe 10 years older than me and blonde and extremely beautiful and had also obviously spent a lot of time in the sun, none of which she regretted. When I was 7, I was given the thing I wanted most for my birthday, which was a doll that roller skated. I pictured myself falling into the river under the eyes of people I would have to see in the raw juice store later.
