Hey! just got back from shredding. At one point I wiped out and the nose of my shortboard stabbed me in the forehead, thank God not my eyes! but I was wondering what injuries have you guys experienced??

Probably the most serious injury I have had is getting poked in the calf by my board which bled for 45 minutes or so, right up until I got to the emergency room. The most scary injury was falling on my boards fin on the beach. The most dangerous or closest to dieing situation was almost drowning in big surf.
So what is worse.... dying or regretting it for the rest of my life? Obviously I chose not regretting it.

Wiped out in bigger surf on Wednesday, which in turn led to two stitches in the lip.
