Victoria, Australia satellite photo
This photo was taken after my surf on Saturday. Behind the furthest point you can see Bells Beach breaking. The point has Winkipop going off, and the foreground sees a crowded Boobs and Boobs Left working pretty nicely.
Sunday's surf started off well for me as I paddled out to Boobs just before the sun came up. There was only four of us out. I seemed to have found the sweet spot to wait for the waves because I was sneakily catching everything! In less than an hour I'd already had a decent number of waves under my belt. At around the hour mark, I paddled into what was looking like a really wally one, and pulled into the close out.
The rumble was nothing special but my heel did clip my fin.
When I came up, with all the salt water and stuff bubbling around, I couldn't see any damage - so I surfed on.
It was only after coming in, and having a bit of a prod, that I realised the gash was deeper than first thought.
A quick trip to Geelong hospital confirmed it needed three stitches.

So now I have to walk with a bit of a limp and be out of the water for the next ten days. The things we do for the joys of surfing...
