Too Old For This S***!!!

40 is the new 30, right? Ol' Lenny thinks he can still Hang 10 with the Royal Caribbean teenagers onboard this cruise. Our ship has the "FlowRider" which is a simulated surfing and water-boarding activity where a thin stream of water shoots up a sloped platform to create a wave-like flow of water. I couldn't wait to try it!
I have taken actual surfing lessons on previous trips to Costa Rica and Hawaii. How hard could it possibly be to surf on a cruise ship....in a swimming pool? It took me 3 to 4 attempts before I thought I had the hang of it.
Not bad for an old guy, right? It was exactly 4 seconds after that cocky thought that I damn near broke my neck! I fell backwards off the surfboard faster than I could catch myself and my head came crashing down to meet the floor below. Ouch!
It's pretty much at this point I realized 40 is 40. And, I'd kinda like to live to see 41. So I'd better keep my ass off the cruise ship surfboards and stick to the buffets!
Looks good bro! You still got it! Tubular!!
