Ah, just when I was feeling real old (I turn 35 next month), this thread came along and made me feel like a kid again! After having paddled for a few years in Florida I moved to central California (last year). I'm getting used to the water being a LOT colder out here but have started to hear things from people about "surfer's ear" (exotosis?). "They" say the cold water causes the bones in the ear to grow and can affect hearing, etc. So old farts, uh, better make that knowledgable Paddlewisers, CAN YOU STILL HEAR? :-) Considering the fact that I seem to be addicted to practicing those rolls and braces every time I paddle (even though my ears are numb), how long 'til I have to have this bone "chisled" out of my ear? (Currently wriggling in the anticipation of such an event.)
