Back Side and Butt Rubbing
This can be a nagging problem particularly for folks who have more prominent bony protusions like a longer coccyx. Sometimes a coccyx will rub in some surfski bucket shapes despite excellent technique and requires some elevation off of the seat.
- Technique - review Stroke Technique - do any changes help?
- ? Focusing more on pushing down with one foot/ pulling up with the other foot
- “Rotate forward moving your bottom away from back of the bucket, not pushing back into the back of the bucket ”
- Experiment with Padding : some say they find more help with padded shorts or even sew their own padding into their paddling shorts
Chafing
- Gurney Goo
- James Michaels “I find if the more baggy my shirt is the worse the chafing is. I don’t do sleeveless at all anymore . If it’s form fitting from the shoulder to the elbow I’m good”
- Tenar Hall “You can make lotion bars by melting beeswax, coconut oil and shea butter in a double boiler and pouring into a silicone mold.”
