After my stack last week I have been soldiering on thinking I needed to keep moving to stop seizing up but I don't think it's working.

Initially I'd screech in pain if I bent my leg.It's painful walking , with all muscles pulling against each other and the leg collapses occasionally. I can bend it now and squat a little but it hurts. It aches like crazy by the end of the day & night so its hard to sleep even on strong pills.

I think I've badly strained & bruised the right Quad ( thigh) muscle.I haven't bothered with a doctor as they'd just say rest + pop pills which I'm doing and my partner used to be a massage therapist so we know a bit about muscles.

Anyone else had something like this and how long did it keep you off the water? Would b happen just as a crappy season turns good..[}:)][}:)]

Here are some pics of yesterday. I finally persuaded my partner to take some pics + video of me so I'd have some memories when I'm older & greyer..
We got there early so there was only myself + John from Qld who is travelling. How lucky is he to strike a day like that?
Don't you hate it when there is someone so much better than you on the water your photographer likes taking pics of them more than you..[}:)].
I'll post the ones of me 1st as I look pretty boring compared to John..I wanted to get some jumping pics but after 2 jumps on the first run where I got the sail too far forward and suffered nasty catapults on landing I decided to play it safe..Not that is stopped the wind from getting under my board and flipping it downwind with me attached and other stacks..
