Hey cantSUPenough, good call on the prom trip, swell dropped here yesterday, poor old Andrew is still in the Alfred Hospital, with spinal cord/damaged disks issues, could have been a lot worst
Wow - that's serious!! For anyone reading, Andrew wiped out and then his board shot in the air and the strong wind blew it back and his fins hit his head! He said he was lying face down in the water and could not move! He managed to roll over and call out, but could still barely move. A few of us were close by and paddled over to help him. Feeling and movement slowly returned to his limbs, but being in the impact zone we had to get him on his board and off to the shore. Dean and I got him to shore and he was just "OK", so Dean walked him back to his car for collection by his wife. That's why I was wearing the helmet at the prom!
