Always seems like the really crappy days are the ones that get you hurt! Wish your dad a speedy recovery.

Bugger, speedy recovery mate.
Sounds like the girls are about to get a 8 week intensive training course with those radio helmets of yours. No doubt they will have the floater down pat by the time your back on the water.
Luke

OUCH!
take it easy and get spoiled by those kids of yours. Still being a dad you will enjoy seeinf them carving it up. Get some vids of them and tell them they have to return the favour when your back on deck

That's horrible news Phill. Speedy recovery to you, mate.

Ouch On the bright side, 4 females pampering you for a few weeks Phill?
Hope you mend soon, maybe you could get back in the water earlier than expected whilst recuperating, try this

Jeez OG, no half measures with you.

My son fell on one of his fins last friday and ended up with 5 stitches.
It's time I start thinking about a helment as well.

All the best and speedy recovery.

Yet another hellman downed by the most extreme of extreme sports. Get better soon.

My prescription for these kinds of injuries is to get comfy on the couch, pop some medication, and zone out on SUP and surf vids. You should fall asleep halfway through the first scene, but that's the idea.

Once or twice a day rug yourself up, pop some more meds and go for a walk along an ocean clifftop (preferably with a bit of wind) doing your best ancient mariner impersonation. A bit of a limp, and maybe a walking stick, adds to the image. It will make you feel better and give you some gentle exercise that will help the healing process.

No good bro...hope your better soon

Did someone say "cow, hamburgers mmmm Im hungry already Phil.

You will be right mate you will be back out charging In no time, helmet or no helmet, vest or no vest , **** can happen and it still will, you could be wearing all that stuff be on your backhand on a sucky wave , board could flip upside down and you land on the fins on your thigh were theres a main artery , helmets and vest wont help that.

I think we have all been playing with fire down this way in the 40 knot offshores with the board flying back at us like a missle, but yet you can still get hurt in 2ft slop, its always the way, Robdog and I were talking about this just last week.

I busted 2 ribs on the kalama when I first got it, out on my own one day and thought I was gunna die carrying it back to the car and driving to hospital .

First surf back after 6 weeks on my shortboard the board flew back smashed me in the head and left a gash .

A month later surfing with robdog in 1 ft surf I did my ligament in my knee.

ITs all good though and back out there everyday charging, and so will you mate.

Dont worry about the hat and vest stuff, you have been charging up to now with out all that stuff , it was just one of those things that can happen.

Looking forward to sharing some nice summer surf with you soon phil.

Did the old Mariner thing today Gorgo it was good fun and a lovely day.

Cranked out a few quotes on the lappy in the sunshine at the beach and soaked up some rays.

I am lovin your work any more suggestions?

Best wishes for a speedy one. You have nice sunshine, the women are waring bikinis not clad in 4mm of neoprene and you now have time to hand craft a hollow wooden SUP in the garage!!

Just read a thread on a UK forum - chap supping in a river near London, cut his leg on some metal under the surface, gangrene set in, then septicemia, currently in ITU after 2 operations to strip out rotting flesh and infection, then he will need plastic surgery to repair the damage - he may be out of the water for a while!!!

So, to all those young turks on shorties in hollow reef breaks - SUP is where the danger lies, it's a real man's sport I tell you!

Cheers, Paul

No good Phill, I know how you feel.
When I was about 14 or 15 I was off sick from school with a cough/cold and decided to practice my mono's on my BMX in the backyard (cos I was home alone!). I ended up crashing and landing on the side of a built in brick BBQ and broke 2 ribs.

Besides getting in troube by Dad I had to put up with the coughing pain for about 5 days until i got over the cold. I never want that again.

Hope you get well fast. Fingers crossed it all goes well.

Hey BP,

I wasnt too flash yesterday, but this morning is a lot better. It just a little weird to be able to feel the bone on bone grating when you move or cough

Makes me wonderhow the bones will eventually knit back together if your moving all the time?

My doctor says its better to keep moving around so go figure.
