I was just about to post this... Freak'n scary!... Dude, that would have been sooo bad for him, especially after his "come back" a few years ago.. Those that don't kno, he almost lost a leg in an accident.. Complete hamstring tear.. Wasn't suppose to be walk'n right.. Had surgery & pull'd it together to come back and rip! Love watch'n Mick surf! Glad everyone is ok.. Shame they had to cancel the J Bay Open tho.

What's so amazing about that, this is how we roll in this hemisphere. :D
We are bred a bit tougher over this way, something gets in our way we bash it and carry on. :D

But getting back to reality, he is a very lucky lad. :)
