I think this, as well as the exercises I did religiously, have got me so far. Also had a good level of fitness leading into the op and was surfing right up to op date. Had the BHR on my left hip which, for a goofy, is my back leg. Now I can get up for most waves but amholding back and not doing anything too radical. The next day I stood up for two waves, and just kept on increasing it.

Once I was able to stand without any pain I left it at that and lay down for the rest of the waves. I was catching waves by laying down but as my strength returned thought I would try standing to see how it went. I also practised getting up from the floor into a standing position a fair bit.

Leading up to this I did lot of exercises for upper body strength (200 push-ups and 80 chin-ups daily) as well as the exercises from my physio which worked on building core strength. I choose waves carefully and don't push myself. Lets all keep surfing as long as we can walk or crawl down to the ocean, but don't feel that you need to compromise your performance on the wave by going to bigger and bigger tools.ДЄm finally standing up and doing a few easy manoevres on a short board after four months. To see what is possible, go to this website, and check out some of the videos. I first started surfing in Hawaii almost fifty years ago, and have surfed all over Hawaii, the mainland, and Mexico on everything from shortboards to longboards, from windsurfers to body boards and for small to medium sized glassy surf, a performance waveski is the best tool that I have found. SUPs are definitely an easy way to catch waves, but if you are into carving hard off the bottom, snapping off the lip, and roundhouses, an SUP cannot begin to come close to a waveski.

A 7'4' high performance epoxy waveski will carve vertical bottom turns and aerials like a short board whereas a 10' long, 4' thick SUP is far from maneuverable, and must be pivoted off the tail, rather than carving off the full rail line like a short board or performance waveski. Oh yeah, your mind heals faster when looking at ocean candy and take that as where you want it to.ДЇor anyone dealing with issues about jumping to your feet before you move to SUP, really consider waveskiing. Walking on sand is also great.gives you balance and strength over just just normal grass and concrete. I healed fast, but let your body be the judge to your recovery. To all the new hip recoveries, I encourage swimming, I used a snorkel and fins, and it was part of my PT. (for those just reading the posts but don't surf, its something of a great feeling to be on a wave and to ride it, a feeling that is unbelievable.) (and I actually one day just took out a belly board to be there in the wave since it was perfect and I had no board with me but had my swim fins) When up on the board for me, I am like I was pre operation.so that is good.just the getting in factor. Maybe we make our own new sports.like 12oz curls speed run.or double arm funny to think we were not surfing last year and now dealing with it again as in a new.hate popping up, the critical time, so that is why sup has got my interest.
