We Had Surf…Now I’m Paying For It

Saturday morning I headed out to Palm Beach with my neighbor Bryan and his brother. Solid North East swell and clean. Most were in the waist to chest high range. The sets were a little bouncy but it was lining up perfectly. A couple key peaks were outstanding but after a full day of surfing I seem to have tweaked the hell out of my back. Now I can barely sit anywhere for a long period of time and I can hardly move. So much pain in my lower back I can’t stand it. I have a small fracture in my L4 vertebrae that’ll never heal and from time to time my back just spasms out.

So for now it’s Alieve, which isn’t helping too much and ice packs. Man it sucks getting old. I’m sure it’ll pass in a few days but until then I’ll just have to deal with the pain.

    I'm a seasoned 33 year old web designer originally from Cincinnati (born in Wilmington) and now living in West Palm Beach. I specialize in high-end PHP and CSS sites as well as fully functional Wordpress and E-commerce sites for various clients.

    Even though I'm from Ohio I'm a die hard South Florida Surfer and beach guy. I picked up the sport over five years ago and never looked back. Any chance I get I'm in the water, which is sometimes rare considering that South Florida is fairly inconsistent with surf. Those days we do get are always a great gift.
