Since pushing my limits for better waves, I've suffered the following which are still noticable or painfull.
Hyper-extended elbow from doing bar dips at the gym. (Mostly healed)
Persistant (5+weeks) cough after a 2.5 hour session in good waves.
Pulled stomach muscles from coughing so hard. (Still bothers me.)
Upper shoulder/back strain from a long surf session in good waves. (50% healed)
Minor whiplash from Saturday session. (Getting better everyday.)
This is mostly due to the string of great surf we've been having. I've been pushing myself to get as much out of every session as I can, and I've been paying the price. Tomorrow we're due for a Big swell that will light up SC John St. area. I can go, it would be possible, but I'm so beat down I'm thinking I wont make it. I think it's time to rehabilitate myself. Maybe some light work at the gym and walking around for simple exercise, but mostly letting my upper body heal. (Not to mention the stomach flu, which seems like it will be a 12-24 hour kind, because I'm much better already.)
