In the end four broken ribs and multiple broken Transverse processors little bones at base of spine. At first they thought it was my pelvis so they called the Rescue Helicopter from Gisborne. Luckily a guy Pat saw me came to help and even luckier an off duty paramedic was in the car park. Had to crawl for 20 minutes as had to go so slow as pain was intense. Got washed in and couldn’t walk up beach. Was the first wave of a set so no one saw what happened. “Had a fall on a solid wave in Mahia yesterday which picked me up and drove me into the rocky ledge bottom. “Not the helicopter ride I was looking for,” Max, who is forty-six, wrote from ICU. Max was surfing one of New Zealand’s heaviest waves, a ledge where even our dear Negatron reports “Paddled out, pulled back on five in a row, got pitched, then just retreated and sat on the shoulder and hooted as Maz and three others got some of the best tubes I’ve ever seen in NZ.” Yesterday it was the turn of New Zealand’s Max Quinn, a wildly smooth, if lanky, talent, who became that country’s first CT surfer in 2001.

In April, teenager Harry Hollmer-Cross, son of big-wave legend James Hollmer-Cross, hit the bottom at Shipstern Bluff, was knocked unconscious and “rag dolled down the point under water though all the rocks.” Doc said I was lucky to survive the flight ’cause of the pressure. One lung was partially collapsed, the other wasn’t working. I landed right on my chest and, through my impact suit, I blew out my ribcage and punctured my lung… I was sent straight to the trauma ward, my ribs were badly broken like in a car crash, and tubes were put in my lungs to drain ’em. “It’s not flat there, it’s like Pipeline. “I got impaled on a limestone pinnacle,” said Dylan.
