Judging from what I read in the news headlines, shark bites.

Damien Hobgood recently fractured his kneecap on a rock underwater in Chile. Most injuries happen in crowded surf, people getting their ankles raked by fins. If you're surfing a barreling wave, the question is not if but when. Injuries happen on shallow reef breaks. No risk, no reward, right?

I'd have to say either falling on coral and getting sliced, or shark attack

the most popular injury is a shark bite... the most COMMON, however, is the notorious TRASH RASH. When the wave slams you along the bottom for a few yards... gotten mostly on the tops of feet and toes, shoulders ,ribs,and elbows (not so much your knees...don't ask me why- it just seems to miss)

I don't think that any injuries are popular, unless you are into S&M that is.

Coral injuries - getting very deep cuts from them, if they don't mangle you.

Shark Attacks
