Got carpal tunnel release surgeries on both hands and I am happy as a clam. I really needed them. No more numbness. Got back onto GO 171L and loving it. Using 6.5m Gaastra Pilot. Just ordered MFC 40cm weed fin. The 52cm fin works great but it is too deep for beach starts. I noticed that beach starting (rather than uphauling) decreases how quickly I get tired which means more time on the water learning

. No progress on harness but I keep on wearing it
