living the dream as a pro wave sailor - travel the world - go windsurfing lots -sound easy ?
well it is - if you got the cahones to pay your dues :
And its been heard that Starboard and Severne are going to cough up the biccies for his hospital stay, nice move!!
Sorry, shouldnt get ahead of myself. Apparently he smacked his head on his gear in a triple loop gone wrong at Hookipa and lost consciousness. Another pro was right there and pulled his head out of the water and the lifeguards rescued him. Now in hospital a bit of a mess.
On the PWA website and a few Maui blogs.

Reckon a full face helmet wouldn't be a bad idea..
What an amazing aerialist!!! Would like to see the full list of gear he trashes in one season.
Best wishes for a quick recovery.
i love the way he aggressively attacks the lip at angle and gets such speed off of it. those rig transitions in air are unbelievable...i kept watching them over and over.
great post.
awesome footage. had a whole bunch of blokes (no windsurfers) around the PC at work today in total admiration of the footage and the crazy wsurfing.
looks like he landed a cheeseroll into backloop earlier in the session too.
dude has gotta be like the best jumper around at the moment.... most tricks/variations anyway!
The 1st part of the vid was hard to watch though-wasn't it? He wasn't moving too much there. I think I would have been out of there like a shot, never to do those crazy flick spinny aerial things again!
It looks like he's got his sailing buddies to do the surgery!
Would you let any of your messed-up mates from your local loose on you with a hypodermic, needle and thread? Even the doctors?
i wonder if he'd have made it if he started spinning on the way up like ricardo campello does, rather than the robert terrytoweling method of waiting till he's right at the top
impressive either way ![]()
