Busted my nose surfing 1/2 foot beachie being a smart ass. Decided to do a back flip dismount, board rebounded off the end of the leggie and smashed my nose as I came back up... IDIOT!
Did the same a few years back Jas, except smashed teeth and fractured my jaw as well. Pissed me off big time as the waves were smoking and it was my first wave. a word of advice, don't try and shave once it's healed. You end up with manky ingrown hairs. Grow a beard for 6-12 months
jasdeking said.. drop ins , drop outs , dodging folk and then when you least expect it your board turns against you ....
10 stitches and a few inside too ... will have to wait at least a day before the next sesh
Nasty...Use Bio Oil on it (pharmacies have it) to help heal the wound and reduce the scarring once the stitches are out. Too bad there's finally a decent little run of waves.
Just by way of (hopefully preventative)interest Jas, what part of the board and how did it hit you ? That is an unusual spot to get a cut like that ,almost looks like a slice!
amazing looking at the rail of the board.. not a mark on the rail but on the deck and bottom it burst from the pressure ... first ding and i did it myself
will be surfing again by wed but will make sure not to bump it will hurt like ****
Heal up quick looks like you did a good job of it, I have had a few chin splits myself, they happen so easy being skin right over bone and can be a pain to heal if too hasty with getting stitches out .
....It was cranking while I was injured this week.
