Poor bugger, it reminds you just how dangerous our sports are and how things can go drastically wrong even if we can have a great session in the water and how vigilant we have to be.

^^^ Just taking the p!ss (maybe)

Hope the guy's ok. All sports can be dangerous in weather like we're copping at the moment. I would expect that even the most experienced wind & water enthusiasts would hesitate to go out when the weather is so turbulent & unpredictable.

Hope the person recovers in good time.

Risk management 101 - if the weather is unpredictable don't expect to be about to predict how safe you will be.
