Any tips on cramps will be appreciated.

I believe you need to shave the pubic area and douse in petrol.......ooh you mean cramps

magnesium tablets work for cramps, there is a post in general about this , with an interesting link

anyone else starting to feel a bit stiff from all of this wind..

too much wind in the bowel is known to put pressure on the prostate

pack of sooks.

group hug

there were a lot of kiters there yesterday. maybe that accounts for it.

feel much better today, wind was 20-25knots so i ventured out for a short session to loosen up the muscles.

worked a treat. tomorrows 20-25 again, think i might miss it and go maybe tues or wednesday. 20-25 both those days also. [}:)]

how long are your harness lines?

I haven't got the fitness to stay out long enough to get sore..in that way..I only have to look at a board for my neck to get sore..
I don't know how you go out several days running. I need a day or so off to recover..

In my case, it has always been caused by sailing for long periods with an upright fin or changing from a wave board/wave fin back to a slalom board/upright fin. My solution was that, when changing back into street clothes after sailing, I rubbed in no-heat, no-odour, Dencorub around my ankles and leg muscles before the drive home. Cured my problem entirely.

AM, I can tell you that, at your age of 43, it’s only going to get worse. Isn’t that something to look forward to?

Anyways, being sore from sailing is the ducks guts

windman at my age it might get worse but that aint going to stop me .My father who is an avid snow skier at 70 has done every tripple black diamond run in aspan & vale so i must use that inherited determination and never let it stop me.He only took up skiing at 60.did have the magnisum tables & they seem to help .

Brings back memories.. years ago I worked in the post office in a big delivery depot with 50 odd posties..the day after a sail I'd be covered in dencorub..you should have heard the complaints!What's that smell!!???[}:)]
