geez , i might change my fin in the 12,6 after seeing that. Is that from the standard fin that come with the board , I thought it looked sharp
Ohhh,AA,WTF,mate you are having some serious issues of late
I hope you are on the mend soon brother.
Thanks Guys! Appreciate the support! The smiles coming back
Yep dislocated shoulder was exactly 2 years ago at Pambula. I was indestructible until then. A few drama's since. Guess its a message to tone it back a bit.
When I think how hard and fast we ride our bikes around here and many grinders we have pulled into over the years it is hard to fathom how much carnage just surfing a SUP can wreak!
TeaTree, is was the 9" DC Dolphin fin that somehow got swapped into our PSH demo. It works well as a single but not needed in the tri setup that I had.
I reckon I may have come off better off with the shorter 7.5" fin with a flexier tip.
Who knows. **** happens!
The wonders of modern medicine! All stitched up ready to hobble!
AA, since you've got ya feet up for a while should we expect some threads ?
You can even pop into the Greenroom and have a chat. We talk off subject all the time. Perhaps we could discuss Manly's semi finals campaign.
Hey Andrew,
They did a remarkable job putting you back together. Man I've seen some horrendous injuries from SUP in such a short space of time 
It must be just throbbing when you stand up I'd imagine.
Mend quick and take it easy.

Just visited AA in hospital. Looks good for a man with a gash that big. He actually posted the best photo. There are a couple more that have the gash looking worse.
I'll be around to pick up the 14 footer you won't be needing AA.
Happy Birthday for tomorrow mate. Casso too. Will try to get down tomorrow night to celebrate all 3 birthdays.
jesus AA you are your own worst enemy. Get better quickly

Legend crew! Thanks for all your support and well wishes!
Pretty sure this was the culprit. The point on the end is very sharp for plastic.
The centre fin was quite blunt and the entry cut was so neat we figure this was what caused such a massive tear. Lesson learnt 
Managed a few light ales on Saturday night and was still standing at the end.
Cheers all!
Good on you AA - I hope your recovery & Physio is completely successful mate and that you can get back out there as soon as possible , take it easy !
Regards - Pup
Hi Andrew,I also wish you a speedy and full recovery...I can't help wondering though did the doctor or the nurse give you any strange looks when you started taking photos?I'm sure most people with wounds like that would either be screaming or unconcious or at least lying very very still.
Holy Cr@@@p Andrew that's horrific. Looks like they did an excellent job of patching you up though.
All the best mate - I hope you heal fast and get back out there soon.
Bill
Feck that is way worse than the first one
See you at the Mambo Carona for a few recuperative ales
All the best mate
It is heavy for sure Dan and hopefully it makes us all think twice before we hit the water again. Get the sand paper out and check the back of your fins.
I couldn't believe it when i actually had the culprit in my hand - ridiculously sharp and totally unnecessary.
PS: Still not as heavy as your smash up mate
