Abs hurting after jumping

Its just like youve been to gym and done lots of situps. No problem! Yr getting a good wprkoutvfrom your hobby. Enjoy

Step 1 : unhook

@froth goth that is a great comment about the nuns ?????? do more jumps u will have abs like Mitch bucaannon in no time. A true kiter knows themselves by the end of the season they have muscle definition on their toes when they sit to do a number two

Espana23 t?ust me as someone whose been plagued by this stupid bloody barrier reef im well aware how much coral and natural wonders can ruin waves. Thats why you gotto bear grills it up and learn to boot on and throw down like a clowns frown

Then stop rideing **** boards and get something with plenty of rocker and some boots.

Never ever once have i ubderstood this argument ?bout age and comfort.

If i seen people wakeboarding and absolutely slamming stomping tricks off huge ramps and they were perfectly fine then my curiosity would make me wonder hay if theyre equipment allow?d them to do that without blowing up theyre knees and tearing labrums like a fat kids samboy packet on the bus before school even started then i would kinda put 2 and 2 together and go hmmmmmm maybe all that bottom shape and rocker and big cushioned boots displaces all that energy with the board design and the big cushioned boots absorb what little is left

Maybe rather then listening to a bunch of inexperienced silly old ?ooks at my local or even worse the shop who doesnt stock high end equipment because "it doesnt sell" i should consult the profesionals

And all the profesionals would say they would absolutely have snapped theyre legs and theyre board in half if they were useing 90% of the kiteboards that are being sold today aka "freeride" pricepoint barry basic boards.

What makes you think a surfboard not even a regular one but an actual firmed up stiffer version of a surfboard with even less give a?d flex in it would mean its better for ya knees?

Sure the act of rolling over and exposwing your belly to the sun in your old age feels safer then running after the car down the driveway but it doesnt mean its actually better for you.

I know this because i use rockered out wakeboards with boots AND surfboards and i can tell you the wakestyle board is millions of times better for my "knees" and everything else to do with my body.

If i was **** at kiteing and didnt know to just ride a larger kite when useing it then i would have a cry because it was more difficult to "ride upwind" and i would compare it to my surfboard on the same kite size and go wowweee its so easy toride upwind on my surfboard compared to that wakeboard "even tho reality is i should be on a smaller kite now but im to **** to know this"

And thus the painfully obvious b?ll**** story about surfboards being better for dieing old dogs is born and repeated

YoU all should literally be on pure c kites for ya tired old arms (ever noticed tiny chicks use em just fine) and wakestyle boards for ya snaptastic ligaments and tendons

Only time you should be on a surfboard is if you left your kite at home

Oh were at the health advice giving stage ay

Tell an old man common sense will go down a treat so ill let ai do it















Just make sure you do all of this in the confines of a hammock and youll he alright matey

I just got off it and put it away sorry experience is over
Was nice while it lasted...

Anyways all jokes aside if you want to wipe your memory of big kite industry propaganda for a minute guys then just look at cliff diving..... a big flat surface aka belly flop creates the most pain but a streamlined small surface creates far less

Now imagine you were to drop each board straight down

Which one would be better for ya knees?
So that's thr up and down axis taken care of


Now for the next part that whole left to right business

What handles chop better a sup or a kayak with its rocker ?

Or how about just any craft with more rocker and one without?

Anyways my analogy socks but hopefully yas get a bit of an idea on what I'm trying to put forward.

There's a reason why marathon distance running shoes like hokas with inches and inches of foam are being used over the more classic style new balances (who have now got the mega thick foam version too) because the impacts can indeed hurt your joints etc

But it's very very clear to me *again I use both styles of boards regularly* that the impacts from my wakestyle boards with loads of rocker and boots is far less and therefore better for me then a surfboard.

So give your knee surgeon the flick and grab yourself a wakestyle board and some cushioned boots

As a side note 15 minutes of training actually increases your tendon and joint strength longer then 15 can start to make it plateau and about a hour or 2 can start to degrade it, so don't run for more then 15 or 30 minutes and then lift heavy (but not too heavy) for bone density and you'll be surprised how robust you can make your once torn up withered old joints.

I'll try find my favourite knee rejuvenation podcast from gavins training day

www.cloudbasemayhem.com/?powerpress_pinw=1046-podcast so essentially ex pro skier blew knees up skiing they were useless for 20 years but with some proper training led him to be able to do 100km walks and runs each day after day

There's no reason why you guys can't do it to and then you can finally retire this old false adage that once you get old and Decrepit you gotta hang up the twinny for a surfboard. It's simply not the case or true in anyway shape or form.
