Yeah, body slam at like 30mph. I think we hit a speed bump and I was sitting on the wheel well. Next thing I know I'm somersaulting through the air, land on my back in the middle of the road, and slid to a stop. Ripped my clothes right off of me. Was at the hospital yesterday - amazing - didn't break anything - just cuts, bruises and lot of road rash. I'm just thankful I didn't crack the ol' coconut!

Doctor said 5 days off the water - with no wind in sight, not too upsetting. Next week is lining up for lots more wind......

Word of advice, if you are going to sit in the back of an open bed, sit low so that your center of gravity is below the sides of truck, and hold on.

La Ventana!

Could have been worse... you could have slid into a cactus! or killer bees, or giant Humboldt squid, or urchins, or hammerhead shark Laughing

Hope you were properly lubed with Pablo's tequila.
