Wiped out in big surf in Mexico. Waves threw my 7ft surfboard down on top of me whilst I was tumbling under water. I felt the board bounce off my left leg, the leash snapped and I was eventually spat out onto the beach. Dazed and confused, and struggling for breath, I stood up. As the water level receded, I looked down to find an 8 inch hole in the front of my thigh. The fin of my surfboard had sliced through my leg. Bleeding profusely and in pain with salt water and sand being spat into my leg every second, I fell over and someone came to help. The worst pain came an hour later when in hospital and the doctor had his hand inside my leg, scraping sand off my thigh bone and inside my flesh. BORK!!!
