G-Land started off to another wet morning after really heavy rain all night. I woke up with a bit of a cold so took it easy all morning and was looking forward to a long afternoon session.
The waves looked really good! The wind was really light and the waves looked so glassy with alot lining up all the way through. There's hardly anyone here in G-Land with only 25 people here in Bobby's and only up to 15 people between the others surfing.
Before I finished my lunch we had a guy named Kurt from California break his back at Speedies. When he screamed Linton and Kim from Joyo's camp came to him and stabilised his back before they got him to the beach. Some guys came into our camp and grabbed me followed by Kimbo, Doctor Blake and some medical gear.
We stabilised him and got him to the Heli pad. It took a few hours but we got the chopper here and it looks like he'll be o.k! He broke his back without severing his spinal chord and still had full function of everything with sense of feeling everywhere. It was a great team effort and he's one lucky man we had the equipment and the people we had here at G-Land!
