Booze for you, and new sneakers for the wife. That’s crazy tho. Did you need help getting out of the water? My right leg was behind me, and when I heard it pop and felt sharp pain, I kind of freaked, because I thought it was a man in a grey suit latching on. We have lots of juvenile Great Whites in the area, but they largely stay to themselves. Fell off the board and flopped up to the sand like a seal missing a flipper, then the boys and a couple of lifeguards dragged me out. Embarrassing. Good times! Achilles is the weirdest feeling. When I tore mine playing at a vb tournament, I almost started something accusing the guy on the sideline next to me of going Tonya. Could have sworn someone hit me hard. Literally took my entire team reassuring me he was nowhere near before I hobbled off.

Aren’t you a little too old to be surfing.

Two guys had ran behind me just as I was pushing off to drive to the hoop and I thought one of them had accidentally kicked the back of my ankle.

…Because I ruptured my right achilles this morning popping up on my board. Not good! Flowers always appreciated, booze appreciated more. Ugh. Ouch, that sucks. Very sorry to hear!

Unrelated fun fact. I just found out today that surfing is at the Paris Olympics, but the competition will be held in Tahiti (French Polynesia). That should be interesting.

I don’t associate that injury with surfing! I’m assuming surgery soon? Condolences 😕😕 Popping up (standing up) can put stress on the tendon, particularly if you've been repeating the same motion for years. I think it was probably ready to go at any time, and it did. Surgery coming up in the next five days. My golf game is going to suffer big time. No golfing is the real tragedy here 😕. I’m golfing 5-6 days a week lately. Snowbirds are leaving, tee time prices are coming down and easier to book, and it’s “only” in the 90’s! I will dedicate my next round to you!!!
