Reasons why not to go surfing in the middle of the day...

Well, only one reason... husband emailed me yesterday after 'sneaking' out for a morning surf.
Unfortunately he took his old old ancient old mal which weighs about 40kg due to being so old and waterlogged... did I say it was old?
Anyhow... he misjudged a wave and ended up with a broken nose.
Was a little worried about being way out in the middle of a reef with blood pouring out of his nose..
Crazy kid!

Ouch! Sounds painful...

I was boogie boarding once as teenager and managed to get sucked under by a wave and scraped along the bottom and that scared me and I no longer use a boogie board. I still like the beach and sea though.

Freakin hell! That is scarey stuff! I have been watching way too many shark doco's of late.

I too used to be a boogie board girl until I got stuck under a wave with the wrist leash twisting my arm behind my back... never found the fortitude to return to the surf after that!
It's lucky he didn't get knocked unconscious with that damn board - he did feel a bit woozy... so must've had some concussion. Poor nose looks a little worse for wear!
