Sad day in the surfing world. Terrible way to loose such a great surfer/shaper. http://www.surfline.com/surf-news/rip-al-byrne-i-six-channel-legend-dies-at-64_100292/
he was conscious and in good spirits after the accident...wonder if it was just the third world hospital that allowed him to deteriorate . RIP.
Most dangerous thing you can do in Bali....the roads are nuts there. I read about a dozen Aussies die a year on motorcycles/scooters there. He had bleeding on the brain that goes unnoticed right after injury sometimes. A modern hospital might have been able to catch it sooner. It requires pretty much immediate brain surgery to correct and would need to be seen quickly with a CT scan. RIP
