Skatboard and surfing??

Question

what types of injuries do most surfers or skateboarders get?? NO pictures please lol

Answer 1

well i do both heres you're list

Skating: mostly wrists and arms I've broken my wrist skating

also Ive known some people who have broke there tail bone ahha but that usually only happens when you're learning

you can mess up you're sometimes if you dont wear a helmet.

surfing: the only injury I've ever got is mostly just cuts from rocks and sometimes my  fin or other peoples fin.

but when you charge bigger waves that are alot heavier and stuff you can  sometimes get neck injuries or blow out you're shoulder also ive known some ppl who have torn their acl(it's in you're knee) i almost did.

Answer 2

SURFING:

ok, I have a lot of cuts from the fins on my boards. They leave nice scars too.

I once got my foot sliced from a rusty booey that I didn't see (it was hidden under a large wave)

I have a jagged scars running from two inches above my ankle, all the way down to my small toe.

I've wiped out, and had my board hit me on my head (this has happened a few times)

SKATING:

it's easy to beef on the pavement and get massive scrapes.

About a month ago, I was practicing kickflips, and I really failed when I hit a fire hydrant. There was a small hook sticking out of the hydrant, that my shin hit.

I had to go to the hospital, because there was a piece of mussel sticking out of my leg.

I know you said no pictures, but this is just proof:

Answer 3

Skaters do stuff to there ankle and wrist.

Surfers it mostly everwhere like if they take a dig on coral it can cut them and that c**p.

Both get head injuries.

Answer 4

head injuries are pretty common in both

Answer 5

The two sports are very different. Skaters moving at terrifyingly high speeds on cement and asphalt (something you will never see me do). My son-in-law is an orthopedic surgeon, and skateboarding will undoubtedly help pay my granddaughters' college tuition some day.

Skaters are prone to wrist and forearm injuries as well as road rash and a slew of other orthopedic injuries incurred while falling onto hard surfaces.

Surfers don't have it that easy either. Surfing is a water sport, but in 42 years of surfing I have sprained everything there is to sprain, broken fingers, toes and nose, and been cut up like I was sword fighting. There have also been some tragic instances where surfers have suffered spinal cord injures similar to diving injuries from hitting their heads on shallow bottoms.

That doesn't take into consideration jelly fish stings (fairly common), shark bites (fairly rare) and occasional bites by other type of feeding fish. A school of feeding blue fish is more terrifying than sharks, believe me. Then there is sun burn, and board rash.

And of course there are surfers who drown either because they have been knocked unconscious or caught in a rip, and panic.

As surfers age, they are likely to suffer from problems with shoulders, hips and knee from years of abuse.
