CPR brings big-wave surfer back to life…
Earlier today, the Hawaiian big-waver Aaron Gold, who was awarded the biggest paddle-in wave of the year recently, wiped out at 12-foot Cloudbreak and was found unconscious and face-down.
A two-wave hold-down?
The Hawaiian surfer Benji Brand, reports:
Live from Fiji – my brother @therealaarongold had a heavy wipeout this morning at cloudbreak, got a two wave hold down, and then blacked out unconcious underwater for 2 mins. Currently in the hospital checking the amount of water in his lungs. He wouldn’t be alive without Uri grabbing him with the ski or Mark Healy resuscitating him. God bless you guys.
Gotta have friends with eyes, and skills, right?
More, soon…
Meanwhile, here’s A-Gold at Jaws.
