Is Kitesurfing Damaging your Ears?

Did you know your ears can literally close up from wind and cold water?
That’s what happened to me — and I just had surgery where a doctor chiseled open my ear canals. 😳

It sounds wild, but Surfer’s Ear is a real risk for anyone spending time in cold wind or water — especially kiters and surfers. Two of my kite buddies had to get the surgery the same month I did!

In this video, I share the full story — symptoms, prevention, the surgery, and recovery — and I also explain why I chose the safer chisel method… and why you should avoid the dangerous drill method that some doctors still use.

I’m 6 weeks post op and I’m fully recovered. It went great! So I can now confidently recommend Dr Young!
