Medical Contraindications of Surfing That You Should Know

There are a lot of people who have a passion for surfing. However there are certain medical conditions that require people not to surf.

Eye problems: people who have a less than perfect vision, which requires them to use contact lenses at all times, they should try not to surf as they might lose their lenses. Eyesight is very important when you are out drifting out to the sea, so make sure that you carry your own glasses while surfing. People who have just undergone eye surgery should try to stay away from surfing for a long time. Even people who have lens displacement problems in their eyes should stay away from surfing at all times as it might aggravate the condition.

Arthritis: people suffering from arthritis should always stay away from surfing as it puts the kneecaps under a significant amount of stress. Surfing is all about balance as that puts a lot of pressure on the legs and cause a lot of pain. If you do not take proper precautions, you might end up in the wheel chair.

Knee surgery: when people undergo knee surgery, they need to take some time off from surfing. Surfing creates a lot of pressure on the knee joints and it might undo all the good work of the surgery. The fact remains that you should take complete rest for about two months before you can ride the waves again.

Cardiac problems: people who suffer from cardiac problems should never try to go surfing as it can lead to several complications. As you get old, the arteries get very narrow and the blood pressure rises in your body, while surfing most old people with cardiac problems cannot afford the adrenaline rush. So if you are having cardiac problems you should probably quit surfing for the good. So many people are over 35 and are in significant risk of hypertrophic obstructive cardiomyopathy. Many of the drowning events are preceded by cardiac arrest in the middle of the ocean so you should always go for checkups.

If you fall between the ages of 40-70 then you should take a reality check or else you might be running a significant health risk for yourself. If you do not want to drown while surfing then keep, your heart condition under control at all times stay away from surfing and stay safe. Surfing is a lifestyle sport like golfing and it is not very easy to quit at all, but you might have to quit for the sake of your family. So stay safe and healthy and don’t surf if you have any of the above-mentioned conditions
