Anyone else has there leggy rap around there toes? It's happened to me twice now, today was bad, came off a wave with the board still on it, leggy slipped around my leg and ended up down around my big toe, pretty much got dragged by the toe. It's now huge and purple, freaking hurt!

Sounds painful but I also had a chuckle to myself, sorry. Let's see the damage. Photos please!

Ha, yeah the boys thought it was hilarious, happened on my 8'5 prowave, would've been a different story on my coreban fusion... Goodbye toe

Hence the term "toeing the line"

Tell you what I hate, what I really really hate is when your leggy wraps around the top of your calf and gives Chinese rope burn all the way down. Hope that's not politically incorrect but god it hurts. Hope that's not religiously incorrect.
Oh and just for a bit of sympathy I got a big fin chop last week requiring 6 stitches (right down to the bone) because I was too lazy to sand down the fins on my new Prowave. Don't just think "I'll do that one of these days",Do it now.
