This wasn't the wave but.. still, yowza!

Ouch: Dane Breaks Back at Pipe!

Rushing though...

As reported by Australia’s Surfing Life and witnessed in the video below, Dane Reynolds has apparently fractured a vertebrae after a fall at Backdoor. Please watch and wince with me!

Few things to discuss here.

1. What a beast! That wave was throatier than a sophomore cheerleader. The fact that Dane attempted, and nearly made, a wave of such grunt and gristle is commendable in and of itself.

2. Ow! Back injuries, as I’d imagine is true for most injuries, are no damn good. I fractured a vertebrae last year and despite only missing two months of surf, I still feel the effects today. My body is stiffer, slower, and more sore than it ever has been, like the whole ordeal set me forward ten years. Every fracture is different, so Dane’s could be better or much much worse. We shall wait and see.

3. Is anyone else sick of the Former editing style/song choice? Puts a real damper on their mediocre clothing line.

And just wondering, what’s the worst surf-related injury you’ve had? A dislocated shoulder in Durban? A filet-o-face at Deserts? Do tell!

Skepticism isn’t a bad thing otherwise we’d be easy targets for every manipulative scam around…
Despite not knowing you personally your random account does more for me than any other suspicious alleged data out there.
What is the machine you use and it’s characteristics?

The fact that is FDA approved does not prove it’s efficient in all the ways some quaks propose it to work. That NASA claim is bullshit by an alleged dr. “Pawluk MD, who claims to be a trained homeopath, among other quackery.”
There seem to be no valid long-term clinical studies that support any of the claims.
Most of thr references I found were from people promoting/selling the product.
If it’s so effective (even at treating cancer!) Then why isn’t it being adopted as standard treatment by major hospitals?

P.S I only wish it was such a miraculous cure…

Weird that the medical community calls it a scam then…

Blimey. Perhaps now Dane can focus on gaining some kind of creative clue. Or maybe someone can help him learn how to draw. Speedy recov D.

Now that Dane has plenty of free time to read BG maybe it’s time he and I bury the hatchet.
