Last april 5th, the Rincon Beachboy race was a total success. This was my first SUP race and a physical test after my pacemaker implant 4 months ago. The organization was world class with a total of 310 participants . Conditions were tough, shifting winds and NW swell on tap. Pre and post race activities, superb, double thumbs up. I will recomend it without reservations, Enjoy the ride!
The worst day is when the forcaster was wrong or the swell fills in late. Anyway, enjoy the ride, when you can!!
For my surprise, after an extensive internet search, there is no evidence of a vest designed for Pace Maker patients that wants to continue surfing. I decided to buy an impact vest for kite surfing which have the less flotation to perform some custom adjustments. I bought an Ion impact vest and removed the back and side EVA panels. Only leaving the chest panels. This way the device and collar bone area are protected. I hope that this information can help other surfers that have this device implanted. Surfing and nature energy is vital for our heart. Enjoy the ride!
