Slats has turf toe.
Reckons it's not a serious injury, well wait until he finds out how much of a cnut it can be, hey braithy?

[alakaboo]

I have a turf toe injury too, from 2000.

[buddy]

Yeh mine still a bit shit since 2015.

I've had it for many years. Some worse than others. This winter is shaping up not too good. It's black and bruised all the time at the moment.

Whats turf toe?

[crabmeat thompson]

the ligament holding the big knuckle on the big toe gets stretched or torn.

on the pain scale it's right up there. worse than a break at least ... and the time it takes to heal is just obscene. i spent the best part of 4 months at the start of this year out of the water. 6mths later i still can't put all my weight into a duckdive on it. basically taught myself to duckdive with my other foot now.

Featured on Swellnet, this Tim Bonython clip of the recent big Cloudbreak swell is nuts and the best I have seen so far of that swell.

[steve shearer]

god, the Carmina Burana soundtrack was painful though.

so much drama.

also not the best edit of that swell.

[Thud]

I can't pay too much attention to that stuff. The guys are superhuman freaks and I can't envisage what it would be like to paddle into one of those beasts. I honestly cannot.
