Get a harness if you don't have one.

Sounds like you may be overgripping the boom (or handles) - squeezing much more than is necessary to control the power.). Try gripping with your thumbs on the same side as your fingers rather than wrapping them around the other side. If that helps, then that was your problem.

It can also be a problem if you wear gloves that are a bit thick or you wetsuit is very tight in the forearms.
