"Someone jokingly said, “You should try a headstand on the paddleboard.” Two minutes later, I was upside down in the middle of a river while my friends and family hyped me up from the boat," she captioned the post.
The post garnered a lot of attention from her fans who commented, “That someone is always me and look at you go effortlessly on it.” One of the comments read, “Oh god…Is there anything you can't do?”
