I think what is the addictive part is that it helps you feel better faster. The other complaints you mentioned I've seen those in action. My wife was just on it and it made her very edgy.

I hope you get better soon and get that WSB you're waiting for. Hopefully I too can get out there soon. I'm recovering from a bicep tendon rupture. It's driving me nuts with how great the weather is.

I got it from ramping up my paddling from 5 to 15, mostly for exercise.

Got rid of it, partially, with some self directed physical therapy. Check out Youtube for tutorials. Most of the PT is very light, doesnt actually feel like it works, but keep at it and it will strengthen you joints.

Ok, so what is the correct way to actually paddle now that some here say you can do it wrong etc. I'm going to be out on the water as soon as the weather lets me (maiden voyage) and I'm 30 and sit behind a desk for the past 5 years now. So. my core isn't what it use to be and my arms, forearms, biceps back etc isn't all that great... I use a stihl ms 361 late winter for 20 minutes topping up the limbs of a black oak and was exhausted and forearms were on fire.
Dont want that pain again so what other exercises can i start doing to strengthen the paddling muscles?

i have a Werner cabano i think is how its spelled.

Thanks.

I use the Werner Copa Cabano in a bent shaft, solved my wrist issues years ago.

Save your arms for the fight

Oh and prednisone.. ugh- love/hate that stuff. Was on it for years with lots of nasty side effects. But it sure is effective. No addiction though. Now vicodin.. thats a different story..

Either way, that's interesting about the grip. Used to hear that a lot in regards to riding motorcycles. People instinctively squeeze the grips way too tight. causes similar problems, and affects riding performance. Making those small adjustments can make a big difference.

Fished La Jolla today to test out my tendonitis

Paddled out at 0530 and fished until 1100. Tons of bait, sea lions and dolphins. Sat in the kelp , trolled and soaked bait along the kelp line but didn't hook into anything (nor did I see anybody hook into anything). Amazing conditions and time spent on the water. Wore a brace on the wrist and the tendonitis flared back up but no quite as bad. No fishing for me on Tuesday though

Think I'm off the water for about 4 -6 weeks to let it heal and try to avoid a permanent issue. Next step will be the Werner Copa Cabano (if problem persist)......currently paddling with a Werner Camano paddle (straight shaft)
