I was stabbed by my fin, got sand and sea monkeys sewed into the wound, and, 30 years ago today, gangrene started. I ended up getting a muscle and artery cut out of my foot. To cover the gap, the Doc took a plane and took a 2x4 slab of flesh from my lower waist/ upper groinage area and stapled it to my foot. 3 month later I was back on my feet and in the water
So this is a back in the day thread 30 years ago i was 6 years old rocking jimmy z short on pimso beach running around with a piece of bull kelp twice my height trying to wiping anything that stood still long enough . Then i discovered the moch 7.7 at some point . I was done . I love that shore break right next to the pier .Even got my first kiss there . It was the 7th roll from the entry ramp first pillion on the south side , i ran right into it , Bang ! . Good ole Elga , only time I've felt stars with a kiss . Those were the days ....
30 years ago today hurricane Gloria starts to form in the eastern Atlantic. Weakens before hitting theOBX becoming extra tropical over New England by the 28th. Waves for the entire east coast. Ah.... The good ol days.
30 years ago I was one year out of the Navy, living in a mobile home park at Oxnard Shores Calif., SCUBA diving, windsurfing, and driving a Chevy Chevette ("Shuv-It").
It's a getting hurt up surfing and ending up fugged up thread. The 10 years later I was stabbed in the other foot by a guy with kelp cutting fins.
You got your sack stapled to your foot? Damn dude! By a "doctor"? Man... Idk... I'd check if all three kidneys were still there.
2 weekends ago I had my fins hit both feet and cut them. Haven't had a sheet show day like that in years. Oh yeah, rail hit my shin and cut that, too. I was a regular chum bag out there that day! Everything healing up nicely except the knot on my left foot. Getting better everyday, but still there
30 yrs ago is kinda hazy but I had a bevy of nonHindus, a guitar, an old Datsun 4 banger, the killer and surfed ALL the time. Not a worry in the world. Responsibility and growing up is highly over rated! Fark, now I'm depressed.
Z-inga from Z! Hawk, you gotta roll with that one. For me...30 yrs ago...I don't even wanna go there...
30 years ago... just finished college with a Communications degree. (yup) And was selling golf carts. Pretty much hating reality. Relationship was on the rocks, was starting to get out of shape, didn't know which side of a surfboard wax went on... Things got better!!!
