Walking when its windy can turn you inside out in a hurry and cause a bit of curry

Skinned and dislocated and proud of my contribution to the casue!

Hmmm, Reef surfing. Suck Rock. Punched it on the way down with the paddle hand.
Tore the finger nail from the bed on the Pincky,

Water temp cold 13 degrees, surfed another hour!

Too many times to list, but here's the latest one from 2 weeks ago

Ribs from rail sucked up the face stopped me from paddling for about 8 weeks

Oh yeah just remembered, I got hit on the back of my head really hard about a month ago. Treading water trying to pull my 8'10 Allwave back to me when a guy with a go pro on the front of his board did a cut back for the camera I assume and totally sconned me. Slight black out and concussion.
Kept on surfing with no apparent effect other than a headache for three days. Funny how I Just remembered this a month later.The surfers all laughed at a super got hit by another super

Thought I broke my nose today when the board smashed me in the face. Big fat lip, swollen and cut nose + egged eyebrow.

I'm a newbie and park well away from other cars.
Still struggling with board vs roof racks.

Didn't I read on Seabreeze to try board UNDER racks if really windy?

Only seem to get hurt when i don't wear a surf helmet. "Murphy's Law". Had the occasional side fin cut or two when the leggie recoiled the board into the shin or leg.

Sunday 26/5/13 went out in 4'-6' waves at Ocean Beach Umina and struggled with some of the close out sets a bit. Nice waves, but a few close outs made it hard to chose the right one.

Tried to go through a head high one and the SUP got thrown straight back at my head by the wave. (Bad move on my part I should have bailed earlier and kicked board through the wave).

Put my hand up to stop it hitting me in the head only for it to smack into my hand and specifically the right ring finger which was bent back, then followed by a bit of pain. Thought "sheeitte, that hurt" and that it may be broken, but today it seems to be just bruised and swollen. Lucky!!
