CRAMPS SUCK

[MadeInNewJersey13]

Whenever its a great day of surf this always seems to happen to me.

I'll be on a wave and I'll hop of and start paddling out. Halfway out I'll feel like my toes are being ripped off. I look at my toes and see the tendons are messed up. So I try to just go on and surf but it is THE WORST. After a good long ride where I move my toes a lot it always seems to stop hurting and my tendons snap back into place.


Just one of those things...

when i first read the title of this thread i thought it said, crabs suck..

[libby]

Sounds like you've got crabs on the mind gulfsurfer Please don't go near the naked surfing thread, you might give them to everyone

[gulfsurfer]

And that was the 3rd time i got crabs...jk

Everytime I go surfing I think

"Right, this time I'm going to stretch before I paddle out"

I never, ever do!! Stretching the muscles in the legs will help minimise the risk of cramp and other injuries.

It's just I never do it, even though I know I should!

I tip my hat to drowning for picking up on the cramps in the ass comment, I knew I could rely on him or Cheezee!!

just heard this the other day-

instead of streching before your sesh, do a warm up instead, either being jogging, riding your bike to the beach, you get the picture

suposively that helps-
