Dos Gueros! |
In Zipolite we decided to do some boogie boarding without fins and surfing. Derek, Michael, and swedish friend Martin all headed out to hit the waves man! In the first five minutes Martin got hit in the head by another boogie boarder and lost hearing in his right ear. He was done for the day.
About an hour later Michael got smashed by a double killer wave while trying to get up and ended in catastrophe! The board wipped around while under the water and the fin blade smashed the inside of his tricep. The pictures tell the rest.
Derek while not getting injured had no better luck than Michael or Martin. I guess we just weren't in the Zone on this day!

Oh, SHITE!
That looks really nasty. Much worse than the bandage you had on would tell.
I can tell you that when it comes to my ear things are better now since I have removed like a ton of wax from my ear. It seems I had a lot of it in there and the impact with the other boogie boarder must have crammed it together giving me the hearing trouble.
Anyway, I hope you heal up alright soon Michael and I wish you both all the best on the rest of your journey!
Talk you later!
Martin! Glad to hear your head is better. Yeah, my arm starte to bruise pretty good the next day, but it is almost back to normal now. I can use it again which is an improvement. Hope you guys weren't food sick for too long. We had a great time hanging out with you crazy swedes! Stay in touch!
