Whats the worst injury you had while surfing and how big was the wave?
About a dozen stitches in my head from a guy who bailed his board... about shoulder high.
Torn MCL on about a head high day.
That's about it in 35 years of surfing.
Smashed my head on my desk resulting in a severe concussion from members not using the search function before creating a thread.
18 outside, 30+ inside... Over the falls, luckily not a very big wave, infected 3 days later, out 5 1/2 weeks.
i scratched my arm on a jetty once... it didn't break the skin or anything but it was red for like 15 minutes after that tho.. pretty tramatic experience
"tramatic" sounds gnarly, almost like a disorder.Quote:
