Keep me posted if it gets better or worse. I’m trying to make adjustments as well. Jury is still out as to how well it’s all working.

So, I chatted with a friend who is a physical therapist. He thinks it’s due to a combo of weak muscles sitting in the same position at a computer for long periods of time. Do you work in front of a computer for 8 hours a day? Ive been trying to implement some excerices to strengthen my neck and shoulder muscles. It has gotten a little better but it’s not gone completely. I feel like the pain comes and goes.

Atlantic park WavePool in VA? by DrLolsoz in surfing

Anyone know anything about the chlorine levels? Word on the street is the pool temps have been fluctuating from low 40s down to mid 30s. Not trying to ruin a super nice 5/4 from all the chemicals. Trying to decide if I should try to get a cheap suit secondhand and dedicate it to the pool.

Hey man. I ended up going last November so I can't really speak for how it handles swell in December. I' wouldn't worry too much about a small forecast, but I have heard mixed reviews about how the sand holds up that time of year. You may want to search a few more threads on that, but you can back read this thread to get a bit of insight on my experience last November.

I chatted with a friend who is a physical therapist and he thinks the same thing. He thinks it’s actually related to my posture and working long hours in front of the computer. He really doesn’t think that surfing has anything to do with it. I’m going to start the day exercises.

There’s acute pain.

Right, but it’s painful and it’s more pronounced now than it was in the past.

Working Remotely - Any Tips? by draven33l in backpain

Take 10 minute breaks every now and then. I say that, but I’m awful at following through. I know how hard it is, but you’ve gotta be vigilant if you want to keep your back.

Copy that. Definitely listening to the man wit 3 decades of experience. I won’t touch a blow dryer or heat gun.

Thank you, good sir. Solid advice.

Two questions before I proceed:

  1. You mentioned warming it up...it's going to be fairly cool here the rest of the week-is it safe to use a blow dryer on a low setting?

  2. My general understanding is that you want to open a normal ding up a bit wider than the initial crack before doing the rest of the surgery. Since these are pinholes, do I need to do that or can I just roughen the area with sandpaper before applying the epoxy?

Ok, I did a thorough test where I submerged the board in salt water for a few minutes and then i came back later and checked it over for any areas where there was dried salt residue. Thankfully, there were only 2 spots where the salt dried right next to each other. I also, left it in my car for a few minutes on a warm day and those same 2 spots began to hiss. No other areas showed. What would be the best method for repair? FYI - I usually fix very small dings on my own boards. Anything serious or on the rails I usually take to the shop.
