I just came across some photos of her after her mullering at Teahupoo. 51 stitches - I won't post a picture bcause it's pretty graphic.
Ouch to say the least.

Realllllly graphic! I saw them too, looks pretty nasty.

[travelzomg]

nasty is realy an understatement!

does one know, how exactly it happene..?
did she hit the reef or was it the board..?

[surf patrol]

It was the reef. The page I saw had a frame by frame of the wave she took the wipeout on. If I come across it again I'll post it. With all the photogs and media coverage that day, I should thing there's plenty of pictures / footage around.

But in the mean time if sp doesn't mind you can feast your eyes on this rather good wipeout.

that's a horrendous wipeout, I can't imagine what taking that lip on the head would be like.

[travelzomg]

kinda good move, he went off the board... imagine the lip hitting him full force while he is still standing...
