AA, I have seen some injuries in my life but that one takes the cake.
That picture from the operating theatre is "GHASTLY".
I feel like throwing up everytime I look at it.
Hope you get well soon and recover 100%.
Cheers. ET.
Jeez AA, that last pic is full on. I got to see the pics Parko took on his phone of his attempt at removing his heel and this is certainly in the same ball park. OUCH.
Hope you are well on the way to mending... I have to admit I was the winner of your shoulder mis fourtune a few years back (I borrowed your board for a downwinder or two), but feel for ya with the run of luck.
catch ya at Merimbula.
That last one looks like he's peeling a mango"WOW".P.s my new board deadset ripps can't say enough about how good it goes.
When they had that flap up you should of asked for a permanant leg rope to be attached.
Remember years ago a friend did nearly the same thing by landing on the fin of his sailboard during a bad landing. The flap that was peeled back on your leg in theartre looked like his leg on the beach!, very nasty but heeled up well.
Better rest up mate, and thanks for the pics
Hey AA hope you have a speedy recovery!
I copped a fin chop to my foot a while back by the exact same shaped fin. It just punctured my foot with ease. Have to agree with sanding down that edge. It's just sometimes the small things we miss

Wow mate good effort! I hope it heals quickly for you and you can be back on the water soon...
Thanks for taking your self out of the Masters at Merimbula and giving me more of a chance..
See you down there for a cold beer
Best wishes Rod
Thanks Guys! The Seabreeze community has been one of the more uplifting parts of my recovery!
Going back to Merimbula where it all started back in 2008 and sharing a few with the crew is one thing I have to look forward to! Wouldn't miss it for the world!
Hmmm wonder how I would go in the Skate SUP leg - getting pretty good on crutches!
I will look into the Flexi fins, SurfCo!
