“Sorry y’all had to see that the other day. I’ve been injured for over a year now. Amanda has been taking care of me every step of the way. She’s so selfless and giving. She gives and gives, and all of a sudden, there’s nothing left for her, and she just snaps.

“One more thing. Amanda did not hit me. I believe I wrote she swung at me. She was trying to get my phone away from me. It was a little physical, but she did not hit me.

Amanda, I’m so grateful for everything you’ve done for me. Day in and day out, I appreciate this for the rest of my life. No one has ever been there for me like this. I love you and look forward to better times.

Surf star's disturbing IG story after head injury, “We’re at breaking point. I feel so helpless"

Mental illness, as we all know, or should know by now, isn’t a joke.

When Sterling posted about the incidence of Chronic Traumatic Encephalopathy (CTE) among surfers, big names piled on.

Albee Layer: Thank you, Sterling. It’s not to say you can’t go hard, but that risk is there. Pretending it’s not doesn’t help anyone.

Nathan Florence: 100% it is more common than most know! Great share, bro.

Owen Wright, whose own brain injury nearly ended his career: The sad thing is no one is motivated to protect their heads until they have a major accident. After my TBI, the WSL reshaped how they assess their injured athletes. Still, many surfers don’t follow the protocol, finding it hard to give their brain the attention it needs. The long-term effects of this are something no one wants to look at, leaving our sporting greats and surfers dealing with mental health issues. The good news is it’s been brought to light with WSL and its doctors, actively moving towards long-term brain care at the top level. For the everyday punter, realizing that wearing a helmet is a simple yet effective way to protect your head is crucial. Wishing you and your family all the best in this journey.

Wishing our brother good health and luck navigating his way out of this.

Didn’t this movie have the n word like over 100 times? Because you can say the n word if you want to all that you’d like.

Dung beetle

Translation: you pine for the days when people just killed themselves instead of saying they had a problem?

Yah many moons ago the nose of my board hit me pure hard in the left cheek, splitting it open. You could clearly see the bone and teeth.

Definitely rattled my cage. I was pretty weird for awhile after. Nervous and paranoid. My
moms/pops finally pushed me into a therapist for a bit. It helped for sure and I was fine in no time. I hope the people close Spencer have the good sense to do the same. Good luck!

Greebnurt Hurkurmurgurt

Mission Beach?

Keith Grace

I do not know what to say on this one…hope Sterling gets the help he needs and the girl he is speaking about does as well.

We have the technology, we just need the funding:

Chin up cunt..bit optimistic?…speaking from experience its all good till it ain’t.. much love (prayer hand emoji)… often time it is the unspoken whom suffer silently …fuck the interwebs

c4

You live in Florida by chance?

Mista Spakle

That videos pretty heavy. I hope he figures a way to health

Karl Myers

Dude is clearly crying out for help and in a really bad spot. Hopefully he gets the help he needs, because it seemed a little like a “nothing left to lose” plea.

Culture_burn

I could blame head trauma… unfortunately it was/is the drugs.

Travis Edgar

Midnight Oil..head injuries

Culture_burn

A plenty.. repeatedly, after I swore off the last full moon session.
I mean, I can handle it. The pricks living in my head however, are total bitches

goofyfoot

this is fucking sad. First comment here, been over on Swellnet for years, but time to branch out no?

Travis Edgar

Its fintastic

Chief Hot stuff

Swellnet got a shit comment set up, otherwise its a fine site

goofyfoot

Agree, I think it’s a great site

Lemon Next to the Pie

Ha. I just wiped them because the local camera that was broke for a few weeks, has been replaced with a high res camera that has a focal length of about 33mm. You can’t even see surfers in the water. it was pretty shit anyway because it was so high. Now it is impossible to get any idea on what the waves are doing.

NEGATRON

Welcome! If you’re commenting it’s means you’ve been wasting enough time reading them all, so might as well jump in the mix.

Stick man

“The single biggest problem you have is that you live from a nature
which is unreal, but which you claim is real. Your complacency is based
on the delusion that the way you think and operate and live now is the
way you _should_ live. Having created this useless nature, all you do all
day long is to obey its dictations. It tells you to feel jealous and you
feel jealous. It commands you to believe that you’re okay as you are,
and you believe it and accept it. Your day is spent in nothing but
obedience to what is hurting you. Examine yourself as I’m talking to you
right now, and you’ll see nothing but a mass of chaos. To prove it, you
don’t understand what I’m talking about.”

Chief Hot stuff

Haha, classic, so funny!!
I don’t know.

goofyfoot

You’ve started making an appearance on swellnet yeah?

Chief Hot stuff

Yeah

Z Knows

I heard getting choked out is bad for your brain as well.

Return of the Samsung Board

Ha ha many unhealthy girls using the term “daddy”

Chazz Michael Michaels

I’ll never understand the compulsion to plumb the depths of your private life on the internet.

Chief Hot stuff

Google it

@surfads

I think it’s more that he’s really unwell. Hopefully he recovers soon. Scary shit.

Chazz Michael Michaels

He might be better telling Amanda all this shit rather than Instagram.

Wilbur

Sometimes I think I don’t get it cause I am old, then sometimes I think these people are idiots.

Dick Simmons

They’re fucking idiots bud.

FL Skunk Ape

Do you find it odd that BG posted a story about it?

Chazz Michael Michaels

Amidst the cacophony of oddites posted by BG, no.

But objectively, probably yes.

madmaxmedia

Then I guess you’ll never be an ‘influencer’

Chazz Michael Michaels

Thank fuck.

Sha-wing!

100% get off IG and use the energy to get your life in order. I followed him on IG cuz I liked his outlook until his whole brain injury treatment coverage started. After about 3 months of that, I cut out. Not to say I don’t like the authenticity, but that sort of thing needs private attention, not public.

wincy

It’s very confusing to see Sterling doing anything that isn’t a parody, i was waiting for the surprise laugh. Hope everyone goes alright.
