At the 56th Annual Meeting of the American College of Sports Medicine May 27-30, 2009 in Seattle, Washington Dr. James MacDonald, M.D. presented the findings of a recent surf injury study, but it wouldn’t take a degree in medicine to come to their conclusion about the two biggest dangers facing surfers.
Surfing under the influence of drugs or alcohol are two of the prime dangers facing surfing enthusiasts. . . The most common surfing injuries involve lacerations, contusions and soft-tissue damage, said James MacDonald, M.D., a physician and lead author of the surfing study.
Nice work, Dr. MacDonald.

I had about three jokes that were poor of taste I was going to drop here… but decided better.
I appreciate the American College of Sports Medicine in their efforts to keep me safe.
