What was your worst injury from SURFING ~~?

Question

mine was when i was 12, i was surfing kinda diagonally to the shore. and there were a couple of ppl and they were on my way so i decided to turn a diffrent direction ,like a cutback (stupid me). and i lost balance which made me put more weight on the tail. so the board like faced up and it hit my chest and stomach. and i limped back to the shore. and a day later it was all fukc'd up and bruised. ugh

tell me your story

Answer 1

i dont have one because im not that good yet to have a serious injury but my uncle was surfing and he was bit on the muscle by his thumb by a shark.  he was gushing blood and he had to swim all the way to shore (the beach was deserted and he was the only one there besides two of his friends).  the car was parked two miles away and they had to run to the car.  he was bleeding so bad when they got to the car that he passed out.  hes alive now, nas his thumb and is completly heeld (you cant even see the scar)

Answer 10

I took off on this twisted peak, tried to make the drop but I ended up going over the falls and lying flat on the reef. The wave and my board dragged me a good 20 feet across the reef. When I came up my back was hamburger meat. I had to paddle in quickly, that beach has a lot of sharks.
