Training, Diet, and Fitness / Abdominal Stretch

« on: July 06, 2014, 04:01:34 AM »

Two weeks ago, while paddling in knee height waves, I felt a sharp pain about one inch below my right ribs.
I tried to catch some more waves that day, but the pain got stronger and I had to get out of the water.
Eversince I feel this stretch when coughing, getting in the car and while changing positions.
I believe it is nothing more then tearing some muscle fibers in my abs, but would like to get some feedback from the forum.
Has anyone encountered such a pain? Any advice to speed up recovery?

I have been riding the Hokua 8'5" for almost two years and began thinking about changing my board.
Has anyone compared riding Hokua 8'5" vs. 7'6"?

Does anybody have experience with removing the rail protector?
I would like to remove the tape as I believe it slows me down...

SUP General / Need a tip - Hokua 8'5" fin configuration

« on: December 23, 2011, 10:16:38 PM »

Hi there,
I have been riding the Hokua 8'5" for a while.
I feel much more stable with a quad configuration, but I keep hearing everybody's going now to Thruster.
Any recommendations for a fin configuration.
P.S. I'm about 160 lbs.

Hi there,
I have been riding the Hokua 8'5" for a while, but I am not sure about the fin configuration.
I feel much more stable with the quad setup, but I keep hearing that "everybody" is turning back to thruster.
Any recommendations for a fin setup?
