Hi All

Does anyone get sore upper arms (does not feel muscular and not stiffness/general soreness) after a long SUP session? Different to Tennis Elbow which occurs below the elbow.

After Kitestock aka SUPstock paddle sessions I would get a sharp pain in my upper left arm above my elbow. I'm still getting it after a paddle. After a day it subsides and a couple more days is disappears, but rears its ugly head after a long session.

Never suffered from this before, does anyone have any words of wisdom so I can to avoid a trip to the Physio?

Cheers

Have a look at this they have just started on the upper body region for paddling.

I find tiger balm red before and after a long paddle works well on the effected area. I don't know why....

But don't leave in on your fingers it's not red for nothing

Relax you hands when you paddle, you might find you are griping your shaft to tight

Keep the shaft entry smooth too , you dont want to rush things that will lead to premature shoulder problems

Thanks for the advice everyone, looking to make a splash in Lano this weekend, will test out the arm and use all the tips provided. cheers
