"Three skis were lost, including one that parked itself perfectly on the beach without getting rolled, and another that launched 20-feet in the air before landing on Damien Hobgood’s head (literally—he’s lucky he’s alive). And in addition to Damo, four other surfers were injured: Aaron Gold hurt his hand, Joao de Macedo got a black eye, Nic Lamb got a concussion, and Tom Butler ended up in hospital, reportedly with water in his lungs."

I'm sure glad those guys are finally wearing some decent safety gear and air vests. Otherwise, it would actually be difficult to watch.

I'd need a drop bottom wetsuit to evacuate the poop. I'd be crying for mommy more than a Democrat on Trump victory night.

I love watching the big wave contests. So much so I made a WSL account a while back to get notifications when they are being web cast. Nice highlight reel here.
One could go into a mall in Kansas and ask a teenager "What is a surfer looking for?, and the answer will always be, "The perfect wave"
