What Happens When You Combine a Paddleboard with a Stairclimber?

You get the Hobie Mirage Eclipse. The premise for this product by the Hobie Cat Company (which makes watercraft, not cats) is that paddleboarding can be a vigorous form of exercise when users pedal stairs that flap fins on the bottom to provide locomotion. You steer it by squeezing handlebar-mounted levers, which control the rudder. It comes with an optional crate that straps onto the back end for storing snacks or fishing gear.

Unlike a conventional stairclimber, the Mirage Eclipse offers more adventure than a stationary device inside a gym.

You describe Queen Elizabeth as 'the country's ruler'.

This is not so.

QE11 is the monarch of the United Kingdom and Northern Ireland [southern Ireland - now called Eire - having gained independence many years ago].

The UK is ruled by parliament and politicians, not by the monarch.

kj, what's confusing about having copies of the original? There were copies of the Declaration of Independence. And the Magna Carta. People did backups of important documents long before computers existed. Except Moses didn't have a backup of the Ten Commandments and had to go back for another original.

@johhny cat. it is Queen Elizabeth in the bust, Queen Victoria was mentioned as the first queen to appear on the stamp.

Pretty academic really as it's Queen Elizabeth II and she isn't the countries ruler.
