Surf SurvivalNicaragua
Still time to sign up for the Harmony Hotel’s Surf Survival Camp that begins August 3. Another great beat down story from the contest.
This past October in Nicaragua I had an experience that will stay with me forever, literally! It was early morning & the surface was already choppy with menacing clouds overhead. Even though you could feel the approaching storm in the air & water, there were some fun waves. I was sitting on my board when all of a sudden I felt something slam into my arm. I looked over and saw a needlefish sticking out of my bicep desperately trying to shake itself off. After it did, I reached over and yanked two, inch plus chunks of bone out of my arm. This guy paddled over and said, “I was looking toward you and saw this fish just skimming across the water headed straight at you like it was being chased & I thought- no way.” Then it speared you! The storm hit, we went inland & returned home. The wound healed nicely, but I could still feel a hard lump in my arm. My dermatologist examined it, smiled, and said, “I believe you still have a bit of fish bone in you arm. If its not bothering you, you may as well keep it.”
