I’ll just bodyboard. That’s what I hated about swim team. I remember in the kids swim team the first kid to get pubes got bullied lmao

Or get one of these and you can surf it once you're healed.

No way, that is so cool. I think I’d want to put a 1/2” eva foam pad on the deck though.

I was going to say look for an Austin surfboards paipo/bellyboard but when I searched for a link to provide I discovered he pulled the pin on his surfboard business and is now making hand crafted pens.
Have a look at paipo.org on the forums.
Linky:
There's a shaper on the West coast who's embraced the bellyboard shaping train wholeheartedly and is turning out some good looking boards.
The reason I mention them is that they are way faster to ride than a bodyboard.

I’m really hoping I can surf in another week. It’s gonna be devastating if I’m out for weeks/months. Maybe I’ll just swim/bodysurf. I definitely don’t want to lay around doing nothing for an extended period

years back i hurt my shoulder and paddling hurt like hell. tried surfing a few sessions =like that wasnt worth it- too much pain. so i found a sponge and went for it. figured i could pull into closeouts all alone. did it 1 session, still hurt my shoulder gripping while pullin in., never did it again.

noteworthy: i had the first model of boogieboard sold around 1978 or so, parents got me it instead of a surfboard cuz windansea aint a good place for a kid to learn surfing

I lost use of my legs for over six months last year. Kneeboard and a greenough style surf mat got me through some dark times. I bodyboarded plenty back in the late 80s. Don't go back my friend. Go to something else.

Lol...man sorry about your legs. I was looking at kneeboards. Problem is my knees are shot. Both have torn medial meniscus tear. One lcl. Probably not the best idea. Still have fingers crossed. Getting better every day. If I waited it out I’d never had gone to the doctor

I’ll never be at frosted poopers level either way
