Raph Bruhwiler: I feel pretty safe in the ocean, I just kinda go for it. I’ve been cut before though, by my boards and by the reef. I don’t know if Jer has told you that story about Australia, but we were at Kirra, we were shooting at Kirra and it was the only time there was actually swell the time we were there. I got 3 waves, and on my next wave I pulled into the barrel, and I was going, going, and then I got clipped; I was underwater and my board shot up and hit me right at the eye socket. The nose came up and gave me 4 stitches right underneath my eye, and 4 stitches above my eye; and I was bleeding all over the place, and I come in, and Jer’s filming on the beach. I’m like “Jer, drive me to the hospital…” and I didn’t know where any hospital was; I had a headache, almost passing out, and he’s like “oh, I don’t know how to drive it” because it was a standard stick shift. So I had to drive around for half an hour looking for a hospital, bleeding everywhere, almost passing out driving, and Jer’s just sitting there next to me. So we finally found one and I walked in. He’s actually got a picture of me right after that. I couldn’t surf for a week, and that’s probably the worst injury I’ve ever had, I guess that was the most scared I ever got, just missing my eye with the nose.
