OK, so the last 3 weeks of this Nosara session didn’t go as planned.
During the previous 3 week break in Solana Beach, I managed
to slip and fall on the home stairs while holding 2 glasses. My split-second decision was to hold onto the
glasses and suffer the consequences, rather than add broken glass to the
equation. Ouch! I either cracked or bruised ribs on my back
left side.
Fast forward to arriving in Nosara for trip #3. The boards were awaiting me so I grabbed the
Holden for the first session. All good
while trying to not over-stress my ribcage.
Everything was great until I got hit by an awkward wave while trying to
paddle back out. Ouch again. My left arm could not paddle. I was done and needed a shutdown.
Well-meaning friends suggested a massage or giving it a few
days. Massaging an injury would
aggravate it and an online search for recovery time suggests a minimum of 6
weeks tells me I am done. So I booked a
San Diego return for the following Tuesday.

I did get to spend time with Rob before his family
arrived. Good times. Rob knows everyone in town and I know the
rest. There might have been a few extra
Imperials involved.
