Tips recovering from a surf session?

Maybe take up swimming?

I absolutely hate it when I was a kid, parents forced me to take swimming lessons. My swimming coach was a very mean lady. She pushes me to my limit. I remember doing 20 laps of front stroke and was gasping for air. The last few laps I was cheating and when she found out, she forced my head in the water and I remember I was in tears. I was so scared of going to swimming lessons but at the same time I really got good at it.

For longer term, crossfit is probably pretty good for surfing. It gets some negative reviews for a number of reasons, such as

I might try and wake up for 9am crossfit foundation course on a Sunday.... I think I'll give it a try, if I find it too risky. Then I'll do something else. I think it's as you said it all depends on the trainers ability.

How did you feel your surfing came on Banz? Did you have any stand out moments or achievements you felt unable to do at the start of your hol? Looked awesome out there

First week was horrible, gale force wind overhead to double overhead waves. 2nd and 3rd week got better and better. Clean glassy waves. It felt like I was improving everyday. I got more confident and felt like I was catching waves that I previously couldn't. I think I also caught the biggest wave ever. Then I got depressed when I got home and saw the videos that my gf took. If I didn't know it was me, I would say the guy in the video is a really bad surfer and probably only been surfing a few months...

I'll probably upload the video tomorrow...

Are there any foods that fasten the recovery process?

Beer with fish and chips.

Rehydrate, eat some carbs and protein. No magic bullet. Sleep.

For me it's drinking lots of water all the time and stretching....neck, shoulder, hips, knees, ankles, lats, triceps, hammys and biceps primarily....that and just keeping at it and building fitness.....oddly one of the best recoveries seems to be getting back in the water.....after 15min all the aches fade away.....stretching helped alot with the clicktey clacks in the shoulders as well....
