Surfer's Best Companion

Two years ago I had an inflamed rib on my left side where I rest my upper body on the deck of my board while paddling. I continued surfing for weeks until the cartilage connecting that rib to the sternum tore. I was out of the water for six months. When I finally attempted surfing again I had to get one wave in.

The worst thing I could do to my injury was to paddle a board. I was worried I'd never paddle again. Then I found Paddle Air. I no longer rest my upper body on the deck of my board. Instead it rests on the cushiony air bladder. Problem solved.
