On the wetsuit front, my favourite bit of kit is one of the thermal 'rashies'. I have an O'neill one and a Dakine one.

Barely need to use my steamer. I find these thermal tops allow me to go longer in boardies before resorting to a spring suit... Wearing the thermal over the spring suit, allows me to go longer before going to the steamer.
I barely ever used the steamer last year (and surfed every week through winter).

That said, haven't surfed in 4 weeks - thanks to the missus popping out a bub 4 weeks ago. Just can't get motivated to get out of bed early enough any more.

Mine is like a knife stab as I walkouts free but my calfs are sore from limping, the knee make a clicking sound when I straighten the leg.


Mac, ya deadshhhiit. Using a bike for a knee injury isn't going to help. You need to do passive exercises to strengthen the small muscles that work inside the knee and around the kneecap. Putting weight on it won't help, nor will continual motion.

If you want the good oil, from one who's avoided surgery for meniscal tears more than once, text me.

Appreciate the help mate this has been the longest out time since braking a leg many moons ago.
