A: So Mark, I hear you're a surfer but you're also a paddle boarder.
马克,我知道你是冲浪爱好者,也是桨板爱好者。
B: Hmm, no waves around here.
嗯,这里没有浪花。
A: So is that why you chose to paddle board?
这是你选择桨板的原因吗?
B: Yeah, if I could surf, I'd be surfing everyday but luckily, we still live by the ocean here but it's flat out there on the ocean. And paddle boarding is the perfect way to get on the ocean.
B: It's like this huge long board. It's like 10 or 11 foot long. And you get to have paddle, which is not like a kayak paddle with paddles on either side, it's just got a place for you hand on one side and it's got kind of paddle bit on the other. And you stand up and off you go.
A: So you go there everyday in the morning. You stand up on this board. Is it easy?
你每天早上都去冲浪。你站在这个板上。这容易做到吗?
B: It's a bit tricky at first but it's a very versatile bit of equipment you can like kneel on it or you can sit across laying on it. And you can just use it like a canoe or a kayak. But if you're confident, you can start to stand up. But when you first stand up, you definitely fall in a first few times or even more.
A: And how is it to be there in the middle of the ocean on this board?
在海中央的时候站在桨板上是种什么感觉?
B: Tranquil. It's amazingly peaceful and tranquil. And you're right out there with the colors and the birds and the fish around you. A lot of jellyfish in the place where we live now.
A: So yeah, I've heard you stories of you going on this sup and you tell me, you come back and you can see quite inside in the ocean?
对,我听你说过你玩桨板的故事,你回来的时候跟我说你可以看到海里的情况。
B: Yeah. So clear because there's not much swell that's why there's no waves too. But yeah, the clarity is quite immense. And as I said this, there's jellyfish and they're as big as you are. They're like 5-or-6-foot. And their top like head bit, I don't know how big that is but their tentacles just wiggle down for about 5-feet long.
A: Yes. In the past, in a different place. But I only like to do it where I know that if I fall, I'll be safe. So I wouldn't want to try with jellyfish, no.
