Riding the Waves of Vacation and Volatility
By Brandon Chapman, CMT
Look, you don’t have to go far to find a lesson in risk and reward—sometimes it’s right under your feet on a paddleboard.
There we were, parked right on the beach, doing the full redneck-riviera setup. Tide's creeping in, my wife's a little nervous, but hey, car’s close, breeze is blowing, and I’m bodyboarding waves on a standup inflatable paddleboard that’s got no rails and a big ol’ handle in the middle that wants to leave a tattoo on your ribs. My son gave it a shot, board dipped, he flopped twice and tapped out. But for me, man, it was a rocket ride. Catch a wave and it’s pure joy…until it’s not.
That’s the thing about riding anything with momentum—surf or stock—it’s thrilling until you’re suddenly too far forward, nose down, and the whole thing tips.
