Try a webbing strap just below the elbow, I get it most seasons and this definately helps. Holds the tendons tight and they don't inflame as much. Started getting the onset last week, had the strap on for a few sessions and it has calmed down. Also lots of stretching helps.

This sounds logical. Will try. Thanks

Stabed in the head surfing at Greenough by my best mate.......

15 stitchers next to my ear.

Im still ugly....

you're just saying that but actually you just got a facelift and got the excessive skin pinned behind your ear hey

A kitesurfing accident just sounds better haha

Cowboys always get bucked off the bull, eventually..

Weight training in the off season certainly helps, 18-30 reps, not hypertrophy training. Strengthening excercises follow this pattern, Muscles stronger, ligaments, tendons then Bone. To prevent internal injuries, overtraining is a no-no, but try and tell that to any kitesurfer that is addicted.. In any extreme sport beginners tend to get external injuries (ie bad technique from lack of motor skill aquisition), experienced people tend to get internal injuries from too much wear and tear.

Broke a finger nail once......it was hardcore ** man!
