when i was starting i did my ml grade 1 on my right knee. yesterday, i've done the same thing on my left knee. means about 3 weeks not surfing,but i can paddle mid next week as part of my re-hab. both times i have been very fatigued. don't plan to get to that state again when sup surfing. anyway, i'm off to the physio
cheers

Bummer Lacey How did you do it Supping if you don't mind me asking?

paddling back in from wide bank alley over the gutter. the water got choppy, tired, unbalanced, one leg went off and down, the other one didn't. spewing, was going up to harvey bay and then surf rainbow etc
cheers

If you cant smash waves Lacey,get down to the pub and get smashed
But make sure you rest your leg on a bar stool

[i was out on the 7'2" sb . it was onshore, hard work to stay in those conditions , but when you are on a wave,i don't think any other board could match it(onshore that is). the thing goes into places you wouldn't think was possible on a sup. my favorite was just to try to smash it on a closeout and you know you have a very good chance of making it with that radical nose rocker. the bummer is standing up and paddle through a wave or foam.as phil suggested, you step forward, not back.if i was was paddling out on an ugly day, i would kneel it. i reckon with a bit of paddle speed you could go 0ver huge amounts of whitewater/foam that is coming at you
cheers
ps with the way it smacks up at you, some wags might be able to do a re-entry of the foam and catch the wave

Bad luck Lacey , at least you wont be out of the surf for eight weeks , this weekend is my final sup before i have a hip operation.And its not looking good , Northerly,s Yuk.

you, i just remembered you telling me that, good luck.look at it this way, there is no better time of the year of an op with the devils winds due soon

Yeah , my balance might be a bit better when i get it done so ill be able to go for one of those short sup,s you ride!Im allways envious when i see guys on short sups ripping , my board is pretty average in small surf , it only comes into its own with a bit of size.

Soft

Thats exactly how I did mine before xmas. One leg slipped off and that was it....

Do you blokes use Blanes "ultimate traction" deck pad system? ie tiny pieces of pad to the edge of the board.
I slipped off the rail edge of my 9.6 in a late take off last week and without a wetsuit could have sliced my femoral vein on a side bite during the fall.Just a cut on the inside leg fortunately
I couldn't stick extra bits to the back edge of the rails quickly enough.Way better now.

Yikes All out for 160....the poms have one paw on the urn!!

Beautiful looking board btw!Hasty recovery
