Torrey Meister’s taken some rough ones in his surfing career. But out of all of them, this one, pound for pound, just might take the cake. Back in December, he took off on a Backdoor bomb, didn’t quite make the drop, and promptly had his spleen ruptured by the falling lip. A few days ago, he posted this little Cash-driven clip on Instagram for the world to see. And while he made it out ok and is in full on recovery mode, his spleen will never be the same. Here’s what he had to Insta-say about it just after the injury:
The power of the ocean will never seize [sic] to amaze me! These past two weeks I’ve been absolutely plagued with injuries. Suffering a concussion a couple days before my heat at Sunset and today at Backdoor I ruptured my spleen and I’m very sad to say that I will not be competing in The Pipeline Masters this year. I am very thankful for all the support from my family and friends and I just want you to know that I love you guys!
The Lord has a plan and I am so thankful for the life the Lord has blessed me with! Please keep me in your prayers if everything goes good I should only be in the hospital for 3 days.
