laceys lane said..Palmy again on the nomad. Ive had a problem knee for a long time and have torn my meniscus just before chrissy. Bucket handle with fragment, ml tear minor. Seeing a goldie sports doc soon .
Been a struggle to surf for a few years. However have done rehab work and well its been a long time since ive felt so strong surfing where as at times its been a struggle just to get up
Which leads me to say i have zero interest in surfing longboards atm.
Should i leave?

Nah I think we've just solved two issues here, the answer is Tandem Surfing.

So you'll need a 12' board after all, you lay up the front and paddle, Mac stays at the back given his dodgy wrist/elbow, pops up and guides the vessel towards the beach whilst you laugh and giggle like a little kid enjoying the ride.
Both blokes injuries catered for and you still get to enjoy the water.
