tennis elbow from sailing?

[jared]

Doc says I have tennis elbow from windsurfing. Anyone else experience this? Any remedies?

set your harness lines so your arms are straight, focus on getting your weight in the harness and don't over grip the boom, try to keep your hands loose.
Or start kiting and justify having kiters elbow!

Steve has it right. Keep your arms extended.

Search Kiteforum.com, some info on tennis elbow. Get an arm band and never go out without it. Good info here: http://www.nismat.org/ptcor/tennis_elbow

I have it bad on both elbows. Doc just gave me a cortisone injection in one. The pain is caused by inflamation and if you can stand the pain you are not really doing any harm. It will eventually go away but sometimes that can take a year or even more.

Find time when you will not be using it alot for several months, get the injection, stay off it, and pray, if your lucky it won't come back. You might still want to wear the arm band even after you get rid of it. Mine just came back from kiting after being absent for 15 years.

HEY JARED, Lovin' the Blast! How do you like the T-2? Jim N.

I had a great day on the T2 yesterday. That extra volume made the world of difference.
