Hey I was wondering if anyone has ever surfed with a broken nose? I got a trip planned to costa next week and i just got my nose back in place after messing it up playing football. The doc doesnt want me to surf for two weeks but i cant handle that.

Any advice?

Well, that truly sucks.

The doc said don't do it.

So.... you gotta ask yourself one question.......

(look up "Dirty Harry" if you don't know the rest of that line):cool:

Are you willing to have it reset if something happens? If the answer is yes, you can surf.

ha bro u'll be just fine don't worry i broke my nose and split open the bottom of it they glued the cut and set it back and i was in the water the next day, with some pain meds of course.

just if you fall, don't go head first and ull be okay

Best of luck on your trip

i have broke my nose like 4 times have a deviated septum right now surf all the time the only ****ty part is breathing is kind of hard if its broke and swollen all inside it so take it easy if its big

I'm a girl and my board gave me a mini fracture on top of my nose and I was back surfing 2 days later.
Like the prior post said, if you fall, try to fall backwards away from your board.

If your nose is jacked when you get back, either get it reset or go to an ear nose and throat doctor so that you will be able to breath properly.

have fun
