Learning to paddle in winter

Saturday- 2nd paddle of the new ski today. 6km with three dips into the Nepean. More a paddle/swim brick session. I actually don't think I'm going to get the hang of this thing before Akuna. The first roll I had today was when a dick-head kid sent his model speed boat into my path down near the boat ramp. I tried to avoid it, lost balance and flipped straight over. When I tried to climb back on I went straight over the top and in the other side. Damn kid, was laughing his guts up too - father apologized, but I suspect I'm doing the rounds of the cheeky little f#%^er's Facebook by now. Was freezing by the time I got home. A nice 13k run in 4:40's tonight to save the day.
