So last weekend in Queensland (photos still to come) I did swim with my camera, but my ankle still felt weak and I still had a lot of tendon pain. I really could not wear a fin on my right foot! I’ve been working pretty intensely with my physio, Steve Felscher, to strengthen it up.
Well this weekend was my first swim with my camera wearing my fins and in some real surf. You have NO IDEA how good it felt to be back out there!!! I was definitely nervous swimming out because when you swim out with fins and your diving under the surf the fins do tend to really move around and twist your ankles in all sorts of directions! Steve did say if I feel any pain to call it a day but my ankle felt strong and it’s just amazing to be back out there! I still have a LONG way to go before I can really surf but it’s good to get involved.
Well it was great to welcome Paul O’Neill to the Sydney crew. Yet another Cork lad moves to Sydney. I think that makes a crew of 6 Irish lads. He managed to snag a few nice waves out there today. The feature photo is Ryan on a nice little left.
Well I know the blog has been really slow but I’ve been busy working on my ankle and also extremely busy at work. I will be posting the Queensland photos this week and those are pretty sweet.
IT IS GREAT TO BE BACK. Can’t wait to surf again.
