Stand up paddle-boarding is sailing its way to Scotland and I was invited to give it a go in Linlithgow.
The company held an open day in the canal next to the Park Bistro in Linlithgow and I was invited to test out some of the equipment.
I had no idea what to expect, except maybe falling in the water!
With the safety talk over, I took my first venture onto the water.
Soon I was swooshing my way down the river and realised that I was far too warm in all my layers.
