I was tossing a beat in 95' and almost drown. :/

 

After breaking 4 ribs (more like Shattered and puncturing small air sacs in my lungs )on a 3 foot wave during high tide,I can see how easily things happen.My board took a nose dive and dug in the sand.I followed with my back with no forgiveness.Pretty much put a hole in my WRV from the pressure.Put a hole in my wetsuit and a hole in my back .A few inches from my spine.Walked in the ER,wetsuit and all. Came real close to having a flail chest which could of killed me.Thank God Im still here.Was in the hospital for a couple days.Got insurance but it was a $30,000 bill.Crazy thing is got this on vid.

 

Crazy. Have you ever posted the vid?

 

Showed friends and family but never posted it online.In the vid everything happened so quick.I originally thought it was a closeout but wasn't.Wave just took a weird crumble on me.I paddled in good position to catch the wave. Just a freaky accident.I was back in the water 2 months later.My wifes cool with me surfing again but I take some heat from alot of other people for getting wet again.

 

did they have to cut the wetsuit off of you at the ER?

 

be careful in the smaller surf

 

good story meatloaf.

 

RIP to that poor man....but holy fck dude, do you even indent?

 

Naa man,I paid $3oo bucks for that thing and it was brand new.I dealt with the pain.

 

i feel for this family.

 

any updates on cause of death?

 

that article left me with more questions than answers..

i wanted to surf witehall today, there was a decent bump.. but was getting bad vibes thinking bout the story, ended up surfing allenhurst with 9 sup'ers instead.. i hope in light of this story the city will start rebuilding lost stairs from Irene.

 

pressofac is way worse

 

asbury park mess

 

^ HAHAHAHAHAHAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!! That's a good one bro.

 

Hey !!! The Press of Atlantic City is a very cute periodical. It's no Philadelphia Inquirer, but where else are you going to keep up with latest activity in the 800 Block of Maryland Ave ? Plus they always print letters from the same seven elderly dudes who think life should be a Leave it to Beaver episode. Those clueless right-wing phonies are always good for a chuckle or a paper throwing, expletive laden rant from hell............My mommy says I have anger issues and I should go to anger management classes. AS IF !!!

Yelling at the TV or some 85 year old doesn't make you crazy.....or angry. I only get angry at BAD people. My dog thinks I'm nice.......
