Apparently, the surf was so big on Wednesday February 20, 2008 at Froggy’s near Snapper Rocks that three-time World Champion Andy Irons got “bashed on the rocks.”
The three-time world champion had been attempting to paddle out at Froggys, near Snapper Rocks, when a large wave washed him back on to the rocks. . . .This was quickly followed by a second wave, pushing him further into the jagged rocks. . . .Both his arms were cut and his board was in tatters.
An onlooker who reportedly spoke to Andy said that he mentioned that he hadn’t “been smashed in about five years and was left fairly rattled.” Then again, this was reported in the Australian press.
