Just a quick shout out to all that helped me and my mate at Yal on Sunday morning. My mate dislocated his shoulder after a set landed on him Sunday Morning. I swam in and dragged him out of the impact area and we then proceeded to drift across the bay while I slowly paddled us back to shore, he was in emmense pain trying to put the shoulder back in, I had to attach my legrope to his and get him to hang onto his board and paddle slowly towards shore.
When we were closer to shore a couple of blokes came out to assist and between us and a couple of friendly bodyboarders we got him in past the gnarly shorebreak and onto the beach.
Just so happened there was a doc on the beach who with the assitance of e few volunteers got his shoulder back in. Thanks to everyone involved. Good to see the surfing community down there has still got it all together.
Good news story. I hope your mate's shoulder recovers well and is back in the water real soon. I have done similar to my shoulders and know the pain he would have been in.
