SR 28 CRYSTAL BAY:

Looks that signify intent, this is a source of discontent and nears embarrassment. I don't like this car. There, I said it - you can click back and move on with your life. But that would nearly be unfair to this pretend sports car from Lexus. What you're looking at is the longstanding RC coupe, now in its tenth year (!), that's been subject to The Fast and the Furious treatment with a glaringly out-of-place black hood. People will see this car and think it's fast, or that you want to race them - it happened to me - yet the truth is this is not a fast car.

It feels like it was just a short time ago that this year’s mighty winter was still strong-arming Tahoe and the wet spring was keeping summer at bay. Now temperatures are climbing here and around the country like in Phoenix, Ariz. which earlier this week marked a record 19th straight day with heat over 110 degrees. On a different scale, climate change is impacting Lake Tahoe as well. Shoreline water temperatures hit 70 degrees this week and the lake’s average temperature is 1.4 degrees higher since 1970.

Lake Tahoe is a SUP, standup paddleboard, paradise — 72 miles of gorgeous shoreline ringed with snowcapped peaks — an outdoor excursion good for body and soul.

Paddling is an excellent workout, targeting not only your core muscles but also muscles throughout your entire body. Your arm, shoulder, and back muscles engage when you paddle through the water, while your leg muscles work to maintain your balance.

Like any sport or workout, there are some musculoskeletal risks related to SUP including shoulder impingement, lower back strain, and elbow pain.
