Greenroom said..A fin to the head and a long paddle to the beach!
Thanks Dave for driving me to Margs hospital and my good nurse friends John and Sandy for looking after me.
Heavy surf injury you got there Greenie stoked you made it back to the beach without blacking out lucky it happened here and no in Indo and your hair will hide the scare. I'd say the good news is you'll be back in the water surfing in a few days wearing your new Gath helmet. Get drunk have a jig-i-jig that will make you feel better.
Same thing happened to me but it was under the arm I was lucky my fin didn't cut my artery otherwise I would have just bleed to death and I was in Timor got stitched up with NO Lidocaine Antiseptic WTF don't you learn how to harden up when your in the middle of f###en nowhere.
