Do you SUS when you have a cold?
« on: January 10, 2014, 12:22:54 PM »
Do you SUP or SUS when you have a cold?  I have never known if it is a bad idea or not.

I have for the last two weeks and I'm giving it a break. . . until Sunday morning! My head is so thick right now I want to take a power drill and let the pressure out.  I think my balance has been a bit wonky because of it. I've also been trying to fix some bad footwork (surfing goofy footed and paddling regular) so the kook-o-meter has been just a little higher.

The cold weather with the early fog and breeze definitely did not help.

Been staving off some sort of cold the past couple of weeks. Every time I go SUS it seems to clear up. Then I go into work and everyone else has a cold so it seems to come back until I go SUS again. The salt water seems to flush things out.

I can be sick at home or in the water. I choose the later.

I don't surf/sup with an active cold, but at the tail end of one, the ocean water sinus rinse is awesome!!
Kinda like nature's Netti Pot or Sinus Rinse.  After a couple of wipeouts, you can fully discharge every ounce of viral infested mucous plug from the deep recesses of your maxillary sinus....AHHHHHHHHH.

With the water that's in the South Bay?   Uhhh, OK.  Maybe all the pollutants will kill cold germs and not give you something worse.  I hope.

I reckon if you do have a "proper" cold you'll certainly not feel like doing anything active - chill out and eat and drink fluid!

I'm a believer in powering through most stuff. If I don't feel good I try to ignore it and go do something tough. Works for me.

I  do.     


I go with the rule of thumb for running, skip the run if you have a fever, go for it( but easy) if not  (for the endorphin effect)  .

Wimped out this morning. The cold is still here. Took the fam +dog for a walk on the beach instead. And, ran into Strand Leper and Ralph in the parking lot. Next weekend......
