I just had a heart attack at the age of 52. It was a dissection and not caused by plaque. I had a stroke in 2009.

After the heart attack on July 3rd, 2018, I have been told to stay out of the water by one of my cardiologists, permanently, as it is too dangerous, fin cuts, bruises, head trauma.

But my other cardiologist says I can surf in the future, but no exercise until I complete cardiac rehab.

I have read a lot about this, and I even did a brief post on it on our Huntington Beach SUP website.

The reason I am posting this is to see, have any of you surfed after a heart attack, if so, how did you prepare, how did it go, etc.? Did you sustain injuries?

Please reply here or post on our FaceBook page.
