Hello guys,
I have been Supping almost every day for the last 3 weeks and I start to feel quite allot of pain in my articulation specially on my elbow and shoulder!
Not on the bone but more like the tendoins...... up and down of the elbow..
Any suggestions? Is like I'm having a tennis elbow!!!

Hi Janke,
rest is the answer, unfortunately. I overdid my paddling a bit later than this last year. It caused the sciatic nerve to give me grief. I have never had so much pain, I could not even walk up the beach.
The sciatica did not cause me trouble when I went SUP surfing, but I kept on prolonging the trouble by continuing to surf. It wasn't until the first school hols of this year that I had the time to rest, I did not want to, but the flu put me in bed for a few days and we were on hols at Thredbo. By the time we got back the sciatica was clearing up, it finally went away during the lull in surf we had after those school hols.

Rest Janke Rest!

How long is your paddle ? the rule of thumb is 6 to 8 inches taller than your, a shorter paddle puts far less stress on your shoulder.

IMO, you need to treat the guides for length for what they are, a guide. I know I ended going alot shorter than the guided 8 inches and doing it has completely stopped the trips to the chiro. Chris
