Injuries to self from surfing

[oldmansurfer]

I am curious how many people suffer injuries from surfing. Mostly interested in traumatic injuries from like hitting the bottom or surfboard or other peoples surfboards. I have no idea but realize there are some people who get injured much more than me and probably much less than me.
1) Have you been injured surfing?
2) More than once?
3) What kind of injuries?
4) How many per year/week/ month/day? Give me an idea how many hours you surf a year/day/week/month

My answers 1) yes 2) yes 3) mostly scratches from the fin or reef/rocks, one deep injury to calf muscle from nose of the board, toenail split and shin bruised from an SUP hitting me while I was riding a wave, cut my heel landing on my board after launching into the air cutting out on a wave with a 12 foot face 4) maybe one a year but I only surf 25 to 50 hours a year

1) Have you been injured surfing?

Yes

2) More than once?

Just one time.

3) What kind of injuries?

I rode a fun little runner too long and fell over a shoal. I bruised my rib cage on a rock and was sore for a month. It could have been my head!

4) How many per year/week/ month/day? Give me an idea how many hours you surf a year/day/week/month

I'm lucky that this has been my only injury. Pre-covid I surfed 6 hours a month.
