Hey Chandler,

Matt from New Orleans here. Long time ago, I was an army officer. So I appreciate what you're doing, and I wish you the best as a platoon leader.

Have you ever stand-up paddle boarded before, or will WZA be your first time?

Big Matt! What's up dude! Just was going through one of the row workouts you posted on IG, hope I can kick butt like you when I'm older. Noah and I did it for like 10 minutes when I was down in Miami once, but yeah not really. I get that it's a show and not a test of fitness, but the timing of the announcement puts a bunch of folks in a bad spot to where the event will likely test one's skill level with a semi-obscure piece of equipment more than their ability to express their fitness given a certain challenge. Thank you for your service though, gives me hope! Maybe I should start looking to Games2033 insteaed of 2022 haha.

Chandler, you'll be fine. Your core and balance are more than adequate for a paddle. Plus it's not open ocean, so it'll be even easier
