Default Paddle with your feet

Here in Florida, well actually it`s at Disney World, they have a place where you can camp. You can rent different types of water craft too. One of them is this thing you sit in and use your feet to peddle like a bike. I tried it once and it made my legs so sore. It`s fun but I guess you need strong legs to be able to do it for very long. Anyone ever ride one of these? I don`t even know what it`s called lol.

Those are called paddle boats. I had ridden one of these boats when we went to friend whose house is near a lake. They have 2 paddle boats and I like it very much because you only need the feet to move the boat.

I rent paddle boats all the time, especially out on the open sea. I use them to distance myrself from the crowd and enjoy jumping off the boat. It's great fun, just watch out for jellyfish.

When I was a kid my father used to rent those boats all the time. They were quite the fun for us kids. Although without supervision we could easily drift off out on the open sea.

I don't own one of these but I do rent them when we the chance. There are water parks where we use these paddle boats and the kids have a great time moving the boats by their feet.

I love paddle boats! There are some near my home at a lake. They are only out during the summer and you get to rent them for a set period of time. My nieces and nephews love them!

I love them and so do my kids. My husband hates them LOL. He says you shouldn't have to work that hard to enjoy the water. We bought one last year and I love having it whenever we get the urge to go out on the lake.

Paddle boats are a good way to exercise and do something you like at the same time. I don't like to exercise so I do like paddle boats every now and then.
