22 stitches in right shin (botched superman grab in surf, hit shin on corner of 750 SXi Pro tray)
Broken right index finger (blaster 1100 buoy practice)
Dislocated jaw (same as above ^)
Chipped off bone fragments in right ankle (surf)
6 broken toes (180 in surf, hit bottom)
6 stitches on top of head (surf)
sprained right arch (racing standups, got hit)


This is way safer than riding/racing MX!


Are you at least wearing a helmet now?! If nothing else they are cheap and keep some of the sun off your face.

Yes, I wear a helmet now. I was wearing one when I dislocated my jaw (imagine if I wasn't) This is over the last 20 years of riding, so IMO not bad if you compare to MX injuries.

My credit cards have sustained way more injuries due to this sport than I have!
 
Nasty one today. Bailed out on a failed backflip off a boat wake and the ski landed on me. The bond rail by the nose hit my forearm.

I'm gonna catch up on this thread now since I'm injured and done for a minute.

I have rolled an ankle, rolled a knee, had a shin bruise that lasted all Winter, and now smashed my thumb beyond usability. It just don't work anymore! The same thumb also has a big arse scar from God knows what on my handlebars. I never really did figure that one out.

I have also had the ringing ears last a long time...but it eventually goes away.

Both of my shoulder sockets (mostly my left one) will never be the same after smashing Daytonas sand a few times.

And both of the bottoms of my feet were burning for a while....it happened after a big ass roll...I think my body flattened my feet out on the landing and stretched something out. The right one got better but the left one still fires up sometimes.

I tried to retire to just normal riding...I really did try!... and it didn't work.

The first overhead I saw I could not resist. Must go fast and high!

Well this will be my first surgery ever. Seeing a hand surgeon Monday.

Sucks man! Last time we were out was 21 days ago and the waves were perfect!

One went home with staples in his head and is back ripping! I smash my thumb and I'm done!!?? Ahhhg!

I still have zero idea what this means but...(my x ray results.)

There is an avulsion fracture of the thumb proximal phalanx at the ulnar
aspect of the base ( UCL attachment site) at the MCP joint with minimal
displacement medially and proximally and mild angulation. This extends
intra-articularly by less than 10% of the joint margin. There is a small
osteophyte at the IP joint. The first carpometacarpal joint is
preserved. There are small osteophytes at scattered DIP joints of the
digits. Remainder of the osseous structures are intact without evidence
of dislocation.
IMPRESSION:

Avulsion fracture at UCL attachment on the base of the first proximal
phalanx as described.

My home away from home.
Damm you guys are taking some hits this year! Mine are weak sauce compared to yours. Here's my list from this season.
Twisted ankle re injury.
Broke off the very top of my shin bone landing on a rail or bulkhead on a messed up 360 landing.
Cut left shin on left rail a few times from landing flat on 360's and coming up a bit short on rotation.
Put a cut through my upper lip from the chin pad on a messed up flip attempt.
Put a nice cut in my eyebrow yesterday from the front bond line on a failed flip attempt.

Other little bumps n bruises, but those are the only notable ones. Was able to get back on the water each day though!! It's also cool that my middle son's GF is a vet tech, so she keeps my cuts together pretty good with butterfly stitches and skin glue.

And I always wear a helmet, but am seriously considering a Lacrosse helmet or something. It's amazing how easy stuff sneaks through a full face helmet.
