Endless Session, Day 335: Best Doctor Ever
by Morgan Sliff I have the best sports doctor ever. He’s so awesome, that after our appointment this afternoon he came and surfed with me — partly just to get in the water, and partly to observe exactly how I was surfing to see if I was exacerbating my freshly sprained AC joint. Ed Scale […]
Endless Session, Day 334: YEW
by Morgan Sliff Today was ROAD TRIP DAY!!! Well, a road trip mere blocks north, but it was a different place, a different wave, and a welcome change of scenery from the same place I’ve been surfing for weeks straight. Jose Bacallao, water warrior and community activist, swooped me from my surf den and we […]

Endless Session, Day 331: Symphony of Waves

by Morgan Sliff The constant symphony of waves barreling onto shore was making things a tad bit difficult for me and my friend and temporary surf helper Clarke McTaggart. We saw a set coming, he turned me around, and the wave we were aiming for broke suddenly and shot my board like a rock in […]
Endless Session, Day 330: Intro to Aquatics, Round 2

By Morgan Sliff For me right now, progress is in the form of moving my limbs. And so naturally, I was very carefully jumping for joy when I was able to sleepily turn my alarm off this morning, and I realized it was with my right arm. Still needing assistance from my surf family […]
Endless Session, Day 329: Healing

by Morgan Sliff Dr. Ed Scale. Team chiropractor for USC Athletics, previous team chiropractor for the Los Angeles Raiders, and Director of Sports Medicine for the Women’s Professional Volleyball Association. Accolades that could fill a room. I call him the voodoo witch doctor. Last February I went to him with a badly strained left shoulder […]
