After getting hit and injured by another surfer’s loose board Harry Stoehr of Virginia Beach, Virginia is now suing the owner of the board, Nathaniel Lundstrom for $75,000 saying the injury required getting stitches, paying medical bills and missed time at work, according to a story on HamptonRoads.com.
[Stoehr] contends that Lundstrom was negligent because he was surfing without a leash, which is required by Virginia Beach city code. . . He is seeking $75,000 in damages, plus attorneys’ and experts’ fees. Lundstrom did not respond to a note left at his Virginia Beach home asking for comment on the case. . . Virginia Beach has long had a leash law on the books.
Seems like a it’s going to be a big headache for everyone involved.

Come on! really? Handle this s@#t like a man. Suing for 75k over some stitches. Put some disinfectant on that and get on with it. Ridiculous!!
Remember the good old days when this kind of behavior was dealt with by a punch to the head and banishment from the line-up?
More locals, less lawyers…
What a moron, I guess he doesn’t ever ant to surf again. And I found a picture so you can recognize him in your line up. I guess he was looking for some quick cash to pay off his new car.
