6 x 2+ hour powered up sessions in the last fortnight have seen the ol calluses come back with avengence after a pretty sketchy winter.

After years of carving off my calluses with a razor blade and scrubbing with a pumice stone I think I might have found something a bit safer and better. The lovely lady brought this 'Ped Egg' home the other day after a visit to Kmart.




Supposed to be for feet but worked a treat on my hands last night. The cheese grator only removes dry hard skin. Looks and feels all wrong but only goes as deep as the dry hard skin and leaves normal soft skin underneath untouched.

Wish fixing my dodgey knee was as easy...

Gloves..dont know why people hate them..?

Take the weight on your harness lines & just use your arms for trimming the sail = no callouses!

I have used on of those with good success on my heels but I have found an electric vibrating palm sander works better, not kidding at all. I have a problem with heel cracks.
No reason why it wouldn't work on your hands, I use an 80 grit.

Anybody know how to get rid of the muscles your body grows after windsurfing too much? they are so annoying.

Also, has anybody noticed their skin gets darker after being in the sun? I heard it's for protection but I think is a conspiracy.. Any skin whitening products??

Whoever designed the Human body was on drugs..

Don't use a harness wave riding = calluses
Thick calluses get stiff with age and dont flex so during a long session they start to dislodge or form a blister underneath and if you keep sailing eventually rip off.
I trim mine with a nail clipper to try and keep them thin to offer some protection and not let them shear off from being to thick.

Frayed calluses and tits dont go there

I think with gloves, the effective diameter of the boom changes slightly, which is why your forearms hurt. If you use the gloves consistently, then they are fine.
