Definite covid impact on crowds today around here.
Combined with the surf being good on the Goldy, no one coming down from up that way either.

So much surfing with no rubber protection and I’ve given myself costochondritis on the lower ribs.
Gonna have to push through with all the waves and the lack of crowds though.

Started off very average and then within 45 mins started to pump as the tide drained out.

Better than I got. But my surfing was just so bad. Could have been perfection I would have blundered. Such is life.

I think I've changed my mind about pushing through.
Fcuk my rib is painful. It's hard to breathe.

I've gone full anti-inflamm on it - ice, nurofen, anti-inflam gel.
Will have to rest it at least tomorrow, but it's hard to sit out when the waves are good.
Then I'll have to wear a vest in the bathwater that's currently on the coast up here.

Hey, buddy, a mate* with diabetes used to have a wettie “kidney belt” he’d wear under a steamer. Moved to warmer climate years ago. South coast NSW. Not that warm in winter so wouldn’t surprise if he still uses it. Of course, without hiding it, you’d look like a real dick, but who fcuken cares?

I had a patch of wetsuit neoprene sewn into the front of a few of my rashies which stopped problems I was having with the lower part of my sternum.

Groan. After looking at footage of The Gold Coast I went for a paddle at Bondi. If anyone has watched some of the recent footage of Batu Bulu it was a pretty good facsimile. Crazy rip....drifted through the pack heading south. Not looking as attractive on the left as I had hoped. Quickly began to drift out to sea so I thought I'd paddle with it. The rip swung around 180 degrees and shot me right back past the crowd and right next to where I paddled out originally. That was the high point.

Thanks swiv.
Someone suggested heat/ice alternates and it helped a bit.
I was surprised how good heat feels as it’s an inflammatory condition.
I ended up going back out at a point break with only one other guy out.

Got so many good ones but man I was hurting afterward.
Couldn’t help myself.
I’m definitely having a day off tomorrow.
Back on the ice/heat regime for now.

Those young guys. No doubt they read a lot of poetry and chill on Stephane Grapelli jazz albums
