Surfed Simmy 3 at the usual spots in dropping long period NW
swell. As big as it was in Hawaii (think the Pipe contest), it just didn't
translate here very well, especially in the L41. I surfed it in the
afternoon, in the low tide where it was fast and racy with a fair number
of closeouts. Surfed for an hour and a half before I got smacked in the
jaw by my board punching through some whitewater. It hurt and at first I
thought it might have broken my jaw. But it only opened up a small
compression laceration which slowly dripped blood down on the deck. It
partially nailed my throat and I felt like I'd been strangled so I
decided that it was session over. I'd actually taken down a large number
of waves, chasing down a bunch of insiders in between sets so I was
tired. Fun session not including the injury.
