pommie logger - dry docked again

today was a little humbling.

not huge posso's - super fun. left the house had 5.30, snuck off without telling anyone, a little surf with just my own thoughts, with the plan to meet the others at grove later for a more sociable splash.
4 great waves in - having a ball, i get caught inside, no drama at first, the next wave breaks outside and rumbles in, bigger than the previous waves, rips the board from my hands like it was a matchstick, and leggie snaps like dental floss, i take one on the head and find myself getting intimate with the reef, snap goes a finger, and with it no small amount of pain, all of sudden i cant swim, it HURTS.
Thanks to a nearby logger i get the water out my lungs and back to my board, back to the beach.

No the finger really hurts.

Broken in a few places.

seperated tendon.

Surgery tomorrow for reattachment and pinning the bone back together.

Threats of a cast for 6 weeks.

Bummer.
