Steve.....Gash of the year .... mate you need to sand down the tips on those fins , one in the foot now one in the hand.
Heavy duty cut....ouch , lucky it's not your drinking hand....quick healing.
urkyperky
right on dinner time too
luckly it was your blood and not mine , otherwise i would have fainted.
It just missed your wrist mate,I'd say your very lucky there.Anyway good luck I hope it heals quick.
Nasty one Steve..
Maybe you need fins like the ones that come on the Uli boards..
Hope you heal up soon and don't miss too many good waves.

Ouch, that's a nasty chop!!! You haven't had too much luck with those fins in the last couple of months.
Following DJ's suggestion, maybe you should just ditch the fins altogether and ride a finless! Haven't seen a finless SUP but theres always room for a first.
Hope it's flat down there for the next month so you don't miss out on too many waves.
hey guys
thanks for your support
just to clear up one misconception at the carona it was the tail of my board that split my heal not the fin !
ive been surfing for 30 years and they are the only two injurys i have had so ive been really lucky
heres an after shot all patched up and flying high on pethadene !
cheers
Yuck. Gash of the year. If anyone can beat this, please don't share it with us - we can just take your word for it.
Hope you didn't get any guts on that Mambo 2008 t-shirt Steveo?
Speedy recovery mate.
nasty gash mate. hope it gets better quick.
I can actually beat that. Sliced right foot open following a big stack on windsurfing kit pre christmas. I have the photo on wife's iphone and its pretty nasty. nurse in hospital is holding the flap of skin open and you can see the tendon.
i wont post as its pretty queasy stuff unless anyone is super sadistic.
8 stitches, surgery and 2 nights in hospital. 1 month off the water. Fun
Mate..... nasty gash!!
Hope you have a speedy recovery and you get back in the water soon.
How did you do it exactly.??
Waz
hey waz
the way i cut my hand !
i took off on a3 ft wave on my back hand as i was dropping down the face a little bump threw me off and the board spun around fins up as i was coming down heading for my face and i put my hand up !
whack 1 side fin tothe right hand
cheers
Wow ! So you are actually very lucky it wasnt your face!!!!
(So if you've never been hurt surfing I Bet you've got lots of surf mates telling you its karma and you should give up the SUP and stick to the short board! LOL Don't listen to them though!!!)
Hope you heal quickly.
cheers
