Recipe for Paddle Withdrawals
Ingredients
2 piece swimsuit or wetsuit (depending on the conditions).
1 set of board and paddle.
1 billion-trillion (Is that a true number?) gallons of water.
I'm not much of a cook but I can handle this recipe! If you've been keeping up with my blog, you're probably asking, "How can you have paddle withdrawals when you are a paddle maniac?"
Well, let me explain... injuries. As much as I don't want to admit it, I'm hurt. Physically, that is. I've mentioned the sprained ankle before and I'm not being a baby about it boys! It's been 3 weeks since I sprained it at the Irvine Mud Run. Shortly after was my Day 1: First Day, First Wave entry. What I failed to mention in my blog was that during my first attempt at catching a wave my leash (strapped around my right non-injured ankle) caught around the other ankle and tugged on it as I was pulled underwater. Ouch! So, this non-surf week is an attempt to recoop my ankle, and other bumps and bruises acquired on my journey to catch more waves.
Question: I'm finding that my leash is constantly catching around my other leg when I fall off a wave. I'm a natural foot and wear the 9' strap on my right ankle. Is this something I need to get used to or am I just doing something wrong? Advice? Suggestions? -Mahalo
