Well I have been now windsurfing for 4 months and have acheived some milestones and my competence levels are as below:

Beachstarts 85%
Waterstarts 20%
Planing 80%
Planing in In Footstraps 45%
Harnessing in straps
Gibes 50%
Tacks 40%

I am improving in all the above areas weekly, but one thing that is not improving is my physical condition.

Apart from the fact that I am bruised black and blue on my arms legs from failed attempts, and my hands are butchered - I wear that with some pride. What I cant seem to get over is the aches and pains. My back, arms, legs and shoulsers are constantly sore between sessions. Its fair to say I am semi disabled when I am out of the water, but as soon as get into the water I suck it up and go for gold.

Neurofen and Voltaren help little but i dont want to be on the stuff forever.

What should I do physio? Suck it up an ingnore it?
