...yesterday went for a land sup, took a tumble at modest speed & scored a chipped elbow and a one of those open wounds down to the bone (apparently can't be stitched, has to heal from the inside out, can't get it wet) plus sundry gouges in hands, knee, hip and ankle. No SUP for a coupla weeks.

Pads from now on.

[the ER doc asked me how I did it..."You crashed off a what??? a skateboard?? What was your date of birth again??? ]

I spent the better part of a year at Sports Physio getting the Achilles tender working properly after a skateboarding accident at the Skate park..

Try paw paw ointment it realy helps with skin regeneration and its good for scars after the wound has healed.Its in all chemists and its cheap as chips too.
