Sore Sternum

Yes it happens if you haven't laid on your board in a while. Basically, go surf more. It will go away.

Think of it like not weight training for a while then getting back into it. That first sore is going to be a lot worse than the next few because your body is not used to it like it once was.

 

Try gluing a throw pillow on your board. Just kidding, smae thing happens to me if I have not been on the board in a while. Bouncing up and down and over waves bruises your ribs and sternum so they will be sore. Only way to get rid of it is to push through and like superburst said after a while it will go away.

Try not rearing up on your sternum when your paddling. Flatten your chest onto your board and bend at the neck.
Make sure the part of your chest that's above the sternum is making solid contact with the board, distributing your weight more evenly.

 

Used to happen to me, I got fatter now I don't have that problem.

 

what bubonic said...

 

Iv never had pain, but my sternum cracks after a long surf. I just stretch my arms up to the sky, then down and back and I hear and feel a loud crack/pop from my chest. It feels good

 

nip and thigh rash will make you forget all about yer sternum.

 

That used to happen to me and It eventually just went away, I ignored it. It happens more in the summer since nj is mostly surfing in the summer

 

Have one of your buds kick you in the balls.. that should do it.

 

That's a joke right? NJ is mostly surfing in the summer?

 

Same issue...Possible that your Xiphoid Process sticks out too far and is causing your problem, eventually you should build a callous on the skin that will cushion it. I personally went and bought a 2 mil rash guard and that has enough padding that it stays protected. Good Luck

 

Try putting your for forehead on the board as you paddle, thats what I do during marathon sesions when I start to get sore, just watch out for that sneaker set.

 

Braddahs, yous guys need some pectoral muscles. Sore sternum? Man, they got products in the ladies' aisle for that type of complaint.

 

I used to surf with a dude named Brian back in the day and he was born without 1 of his pecs. Maybe this is Brian.

 

Mine pops all the time, always wondered what the hell was going on. It does feel pretty good afterwards though. When it happens it sounds real bad though.

 

The pain may subside, temporarily, when u get older it's like any old injury. It may haunt you. Check it out. wykensurf.com a padded rash guard manufacturer. Slim, effective design. Worked for me
