My surf update :D any advice maybe?

Postby TReMoR » Tue Oct 07, 2008 9:42 pm

i wasnt sure if this should go in the recent surf since i was also kinda looking for advice maybe? :/
well.. on monday my board hit my jaw and my mouth closed really hard.. and i had to go to the dentist :[ if it doesnt heal right then i might need root canal on 3 tooth or something :[ :[ ... but i think its healing nicely? ATLEAST the crazy ass pain is gone :D i gotta go back to the dentist next week to see if its gonna be ok :(
but it was a fun day.. hahahha
no videos though :(
after i f'ked up my teeth i went back in while my friend took these pictures... :D
so this is basically my surfing update:D
is there anything i should change? maybe foot placement? or just any type of advice?

small close out tubes are always fun....not so much when it gets heaving. unless you can punch through the back. did you at least get some fun pain meds from the dentist?

Well, the only critique is that you should have gone right instead of left, but you seem to be surfing just fine...
