Ahhhh......

Bad way to finish ya summer!!!
I'm a helmet wearer it's just part of my kit.
It's an old gath, ears are covered I reckon it's gotta be a drum saver.
Amongst every other positive the lid gives.
I hope the time passes quick.......
Cheers.

? Do you reckon a helmet might have helped ?

Yep.
One of the reasons I wear a helmet is I've got a dodge ear and stacks without a helmet often leave me with a sore ear

Blown my ear drum 3 times. First time was the worst, 90%. Now I can't go deeper than 3 m deep in water.
The only good thing about a blown eardrum is blocking your nose and blowing and hearing the air come out...

A small tear is only a few weeks out of the water, when the doc saw my first perforation he was talking about fixing it with a pig skin graft. I declined..

Ps the second time I blew my ear drum was at city beach and the whole horizon flipped upside down. Scary.

3 rd time was kiting and was back on the water within 2 days with ear plugs and a tennis band to hold the plugs in.

40% is like farting through the eye of a needle. Htfu and get back out there.

Thanks VBMan. I guess I'll have to try harder next time :)

Try landing your eff ups on forehead/bridge of nose, like a boxer does.
Then pop out of the water shouting stuff like " C'mon Father Nature, is that the best you got"?
And then as you turn back to look for your board, your kites shadow flies across and you start sh%tting and screaming " SHARK"

I do

didn't do mine on the water, went on the piss for a few days without telling the missus,

Perforated my ear drum a few seasons ago after hitting the water very hard...will be pretty uncomfortable for a few weeks, you won't want to be anywhere too noisy or hectic, but all will be fine after!

And on top of that. DO NOT DROP THAT SURFERS EAR DROP/DRY OUT ALCAHOL STUFF INTO YOUR EAR CANAL WHILST YOUR MENDING !!

No matter how itchy it gets and you think the burning smooth of surf eardrops stuffy will help ya.

Don't do it

^^^ Recommend you don't.
You did the crime, now pay the time.
It's only a month.

soooooooo no one has heard of jumping over it?
