I've read a number of posts about memorable sessions so thought I should add one of my own.
I had a break at work this morning of a few hours and technically I should have stayed at work even though there was nothing for me to do. Instead I thought its mid week, beautiful sunny winter day and off shore. Only one option really!!
I headed to metts to find no one out and a few nice ones coming through. 2nd wave of the day and I go to pull off the wave, not sure what happens next but I think the wind flicked the board back at me hitting me in the head. Feeling pretty dizzy I consider paddling back out but then notice blood pouring down my front. Decide to go in where I guy thinking about going out comes to help and he happens to be a paramedic.
There were a few surfers that had just pulled in and everyone came to offer help with getting my board away, driving me to hospital etc. They won't be reading this but thank you to all pf them for offering assistance.
Anyway I know have 9 stitches above my right eye and feeling a bit guilty about it as I should have been at work and if I was at work this wouldn't have happened.
Karma or unfortunate accident??
