Surfing Waves

I just want to say, COVER YOUR HEAD :[


two stiches on the lip :/
and some minor scraches around the mouth

ughhh, its the 2nd time ive been injured around the mouth area.. 1st time it got me on the teeth and i had to wear a brace
the first time.. it was kind of unavoidable.. but this time.. if i just covered my head :[ :<
I dont get why i get hurt so much :/
i wont be surfing for a month or so

if i get injured like this again, i dont know if i can keep surfing :[

Well done young man

Chicks dig scars. Its all good


(But yeah, cover your head next time)

Haha what happened this time bro? Don't leave us out, tell us the story. I haven't been cut seriously by my own board yet *knocks on wood,* but I did head my head fairly hard on my board or the sand, I'm not sure. Felt dizzy, so I went in lol.

always cover your head matey. I have a nice scar/fin burn on my arm that would of resulted in a seriously nasty face cut if i didnt religiously cover my face during a wipeout or any other form of episode. This should be applied to all walks of life not just in water.

"If in doubt cover up"

If you get it your head to cover your face then you do it instinctively and never have to think about doing it.

I dunno what to say !

haha ummm ok
well, the waves were about 1- 2 feet inconsistant
it was really horrible. I was going for any type of wave i could catch
trying to do ollies on the flats and just fooling around
Then there was this like 2 footer.. close out.. I was pretty much in the impact zone, but i just paddled a bit towards the wave, then tried to catch it deep.. just fell
I was tumbling.. and i was thinking.. maybe i should cover my face.. but then i was like.. NAH its only 2 foot, what could happen.. then i felt the fins just dig into my lips :[
i popped out of the water. climbed back onto my board.. paddled out.. and asked my friends .. "am i bleeding?" which was obvious because i could see it dripping down
lol and then i got out.. went to the lifeguard.. got it cleaned, then had to go to the Er to get 2 stiches
yeah, i wish it was like TOH and i hit some rocks or something extreme. lol
