| Based on the population that is now avidly pursuing surfski paddling, this sport holds **great potential** as a **"lifelong" sport** that can be engaged in at a high level of exertion and enjoyment well into advanced age. Australia is one example of a fitness culture and there they seem to have an endless supply of older, fit, fast surfskiers. Hawaii, California and the Pacific Northwest have plenty of competitive, older outrigger canoers. | Based on the population that is now avidly pursuing surfski paddling, this sport holds **great potential** as a **"lifelong" sport** that can be engaged in at a high level of exertion and enjoyment well into advanced age.

| - | The **success of aging athletes** in recent times seems to indicate that a steady, **sharp decline** in function **is not** nearly as **inevitable** (or at least not quite as early) for those who manage to remain more active. Of course that is easier said than done: managing changes in energy and recovery from injury((See [[:stories:mammas_do_not|mammas don't let your surfskiers go up mountains biking]])) become ever more important with age. | + | The **success of aging athletes** in recent times seems to indicate that a steady, **sharp decline** in function **is not** nearly as **inevitable** (or at least not quite as early) for those who manage to remain more active. As octogenarian surfskier Duncan Howat says (probably quoting someone): "Get slow slower". Of course that is easier said than done: managing changes in energy and recovery from injury((See [[:stories:mammas_do_not|mammas don't let your surfskiers go up mountains biking]])) become ever more important with age. An old athlete may also find greater satisfaction from the overall benefits of training rather than solely the performance levels they find to be still achievable. Heard somewhere: "I used to train for performance. Now, I train for life." |
