oldmansurfer wrote:I had one injury where I injured my board and my board injured me. I was surfing Hanalei and this was a double overhead wave so around 12 foot face. It was a little crowded and I was deep in the lineup probably where I would be anyway even if it wasn't crowded. I took off on the wrong wave. It had a huge section that broke way in front and I had no way to get up speed to get through it so I cut out straight up the face a kind of emergency eject. I flew up ion the air at least 12 feet maybe 15 or so and my board hit the lip and stopped right there (no leash). I could see I was going to land on my board and not wanting to break it in two I altered my foot position so it didn't land on the board. There was no way to alter my trajectory, that was decided after my feet left the board so I just moved my feet to the side hoping not to land on the board but my heel hit the rail making a huge ding and lacerating my heel. To make matters worse I went in and was talking to a friend on the beach showing him my heel injury and he wanted to see the ding on the board and I turned the board over to bring up the damaged rail and the board slipped from my hands and cracked the glass around the single glassed in fin. Now I had two repairs to do.
