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

It sounds wild, but Surfer’s Ear is a real risk for anyone exposed to cold wind or water, especially kiters and surfers. Two of my kite friends had to undergo the same operation the very same month!

In this video, I share the full story — symptoms, prevention, the surgery itself, and recovery — and explain why I chose the safer chisel method over the risky drilling method that some doctors still use.
