BEWARE the FlowRider!!! MAJOR WIPEOUTS!!! How I Injured Myself On A Cruise...

  • You know, I am not as young as I once was.... but I still think I can do everything! I mastered the FlowRider on the boogie board, so I thought I could easily handle the stand up board (surfing). I mean, I skateboarded as a kid and grew up on a lake skiing... how hard could it be???
    Well, the first time up, I busted my butt! And my shoulder! I knew something was wrong immediately but I kept on trying to get it.
    After getting home, I saw a doctor and had an MRI on my right shoulder... and needed surgery. I am a few days post op now after having a rotater cuff repair and am on the mend. Should I be brave (stupid) and try again???

    At 60 years old (with the mind of an 18 year old) I went on FlowRider while on a Trans Atlantic crossing. The boogie board hit the wall and my ribs hit the boogie board. Felt like I broke them but they were only bruised badly. Learned my lesson!!

    Brother I have had 3 back surgeries, a foot surgery and a colon resection surgery. NONE of them compared to when I had shoulder surgery in terms of post op pain. I tore my labrum as well as snapped two tendons in my rotator cuff. When I did that, I couldn't even lift arm period until well after the surgery and in PT. Hope all goes well for you in your recovery brother. Hang in there. And at least for mine, the sling was great but the abductor made the shoulder hurt so bad with the angle they wanted my arm in to heal. THAT SUCKED!!!!!!

      Oh wow man you’ve been through the ringer! Yes shoulder surgery ain’t no joke (this is my second) and it’s such a slow and painful recovery and I need it to not be slow…lol! By the way we need to get together and cook something! Love your channel!

    OMG Don't tell me!! At 65 I hurt my wrist a little when I banged into the back wall, but nothing serious, I've not done Flow Rider since then. I can't believe you got hurt that bad! So sorry, don't worry, you'll be fine after another cruise...essential to recovery! Poor baby, looks Nurse Alisa is a peach at helping out!

    I had rotator cuff surgery Sept. 21st, 2021. I have 6 months, till 3/21 to get full range of motion and a year to be fully healed. I was just walking when I felt a pop in my shoulder. I tore the rotator cuff and the surgeon also had to tighten a ligament in my shoulder. I was told 4 weeks recovery if they went in and only had to clean out arthritis. 10 weeks recovery if they had to repair the rotator cuff. It's actually a year recovery for what they did to me. I don't think I would have gone thru with the surgery if I was told a year recovery. I'm glad though I went thru with it. Yay, Ehlers Danlos Syndrome! 🙄😬

    Sorry you got hurt, wishing you a speedy recovery. Thanks for showing some of the downsides of participating a ride that might be a little more dangerous for most and being real about it. Bad things happen however, the way you took responsibility is admirable. Hope you get back to traveling soon. This might be an eye opener for the cruise line as well. From my observation of your video, the flow rider appears to be dangerous . Thanks again for great content!

Looking forward to the report from your Pearl Bermuda Cruise. I'm 65 but still think I'm 25. Your experience was a valuable reminder to me. Thanks for sharing, your honesty is refreshing. You two ROCK!
