Without fail my calves always cramp up

stretch, strengthen, and go out bodyboarding more often and get your muscles use to the action. When you bodyboard, you go from stop to start really quick with your calves, so they are prone to cramping. If your fins are very tight, it will definitely make cramping more likely and also the colder the water the more likely you will cramp as your muscles will be tighter.

With me, it's the feet that cramp when bodyboarding, and stretching and bananas beforehand don't seem to help. I figure it's an age issue, I'm 58. Getting to where the water is shallow enough to stand on my feet is the only thing that helps.

Oh, and I tried surfing too. That just gives me a different set of cramps, in the hip flexors from straddling the board.

Hey it's nice to see you guys on here right now.

 

I would give up bodyboarding as it is much too demanding. Try investing in a nice SUP setup. Or a wavejet.

 

Magnesium will help a lot. Especially the over 30 people. Get a product called slo mag, problem will be solved.

 

Truth. That's what Epsom salt gives the body. Taken orally helps also.

I don't do much kicking, but calve cramps tend to be more of a cold water occurrence for me.
