SUPer Takes Out Surfer At Salt Creek

by The Editors on April 20, 2010

A 17-year-old surfer got clocked on the head by a loose stand up paddle board at Dana Point, Calfiornia’s Salt Creek last weekend, according to a story in the OC Register.

The surfer, who was not identified because of his age, was taken to the hospital after feeling dizzy and then released, his grandmother told Orange County Sheriff’s deputies. . . Lifeguards told deputies that the paddle boarder appeared to be surfing responsibly, said Sgt. Lynn Koehmstedt of Dana Point Police Services.

Well, as responsibly as someone can be while paddling a leash-less 40 pound board through a crowded lineup on a saturday morning at the Creek. . .

Where did you get the leashless part? Its not in the story and certainly its a big fact. I would not call ‘surfing responsibly’ anyone in the line up with a leashless sup. I see the word loose but that does not mean leashless.

Oke, was he leashless or did it break?
If leashless. Than he is a total dick.
