Holy crap dude...... sails blown out to sea in dunsborough, feet cut to ribbons at Safety Bay
remind me not to sail anywhere near you

PS: hope it heals up well and quickly.

I had a similar injury at Lucky bay - Melville about 3 months ago. After heading in at the end of the session I jumped off my board onto something sharp about 10 metres out from where everyone launches.
Hospital + time off work + worst of all no windsurfing for 5 weeks... At least it didn't happen during the middle of summer!

Is this why they call you Mr Empathy

That looks nasty.
I haven't encountered anything sharp out there but I've only been there in the summer. Perhaps the sharp bits get covered by sand in the summer?

I just placed my foot down onto the weed and felt a sharp pain at the time i didnt relize it cut i just thought it was a scratch. i kept on windsurfing it wasnt untill i pulled the wound apart at the beech i had relized the extent of the damage..
Is there mussels out there my mate said it could of been mussles ? not sure what he meant.

its all good trusty security at work putting dressings on it...and checking it for infection for us.


to bring you upto date about.. ... sails blown out to sea in dunsborough, stacked it ended gear drifted out swam swam swam to retreive it because it was moving quicker than i could swim ,(storm front came in at wind gusts of 110 kilometres per hour).. wind and current taking me out to sea.couldnt see land with the rain coming in horisontally held onto the last boat moring in the bay for an hour before detaching and watching my sail do cartwheels out to sea.
ill never go out in conditions like that again
make sure in extreme currents and wind that you will end up on the beech or drifting toward land not out to sea.

i sail there all the time i am 13 and i think u have steped on a cobbler or a rock or some thing (wats ur name).

definetly not a cobbler, but as a local to safetybay im very carefull about stepping anywhere on the back of that sandbar cause theres a lot of sharp nasty's there atm which kinda suck cause if you wanna get out you gotta walk over it...
