Painful Day

Jacky all smiles on this wave.
Me enjoying a small glassy one next to the Kure Beach Pier.
We had fun this morning surfing next to the pier. We can't surf near the pier normally. Fisherman on the pier have priority over surfers in NC. But in Winter the pier is closed. Yahoo.

The photos cost me big time today. The camera was bashed into my ribs by the board during a wipe out. Broken ribs, severe pain, a trip to Urgent Care, and heavy drugs tonight have me feeling a whole lot better. But no more surfing awhile. Bummer. Plus a cracked rail on my board!

Broken ribs!?!?! Man, that must've been a nasty wipeout. Doc give you a recovery time?

Hey Dwight, Rib injuries hurt and seem to take forever to heal. So, in the meantime, you could send your 9-6 PSH up to Atlantic Beach for safekeeping. That way you won't be tempted to surf before you are well again.

Get well soon.

I'm already trying to figure out if I can surf paddling from one side only. Don't count me down and out yet. I've got some good pain pills!

When I broke my toe 2 years ago, I kept kitesurfing and rebroke it multiple times. It didn't heel until the wind stopped blowing.

We should surf together this Spring. Are you guys paddling over to Cape Lookout?
