I smashed  my face pretty bad going under a wave on the inside last Tuesday evening. I was paddling to make it under the lip and my hand hit bottom so I ditched my board out the back and attempted to dive under but it picked me up and slammed my head and face into a partially exposed rock. My face was pulp and I couldn't tell how bad it was, but there was so much blood I knew I was in trouble. The local guys on the boardwalk told me to put a towel on it and don't look at it (shoulda listened ). They made sure I was ok to drive and made a plan to get me to the closest place for help which was the firestation around the corner. I ended up driving myself to Holmes after signing a few waivers . I just wanted know if any of the guys that helped me are on this forum so I  can thank them. I almost always surf alone so it's a good feeling when perfect strangers have my back in a sketchy situation. Good looking out!
