aaawww f'it.  The story is not good enough to justify me dragging it out.  I tore the calf muscle (apparently) when I stepped off to catch the wave.  I've never (in my 40 years) done something like that.  The getting "upended" was the effect of the wave striking me right at the time the calf blew.
face4.gifHence my embarassment when I realized what had happened and my initial reaction to it.  I had kids and other people leaving the water for crying out loud.  I was poised for a life and death struggle against an enemy... which turned out to be my own fat, out of shape arse
