The question was asked: (@infoamed) “Do you have any specific indicators that you think might tip you off that you may not be physically or mentally able to take on heavy or challenging waves anymore?” Answer: YES, there has been an acute indicator; scar length. In fact It turns out I have more scars in my late 50’s than all other decades combined. I guess a somewhat counter intuitive situation with age and supposed wisdom. This strip of belly fillet courtesy of an ever so slight misjudged paddle out. Yep didn’t even ride a wave yet. It only takes a slight mis-judgement or more accurately taking any thing for granted to end up a bloody mess. Maybe even more uncomfortable was ridding solo for an hour, self chumming the water, anticipating a large fish encounter.
