This has an interesting story, Fiji Pipe was pretty small only about 3-5ft and pretty closed out because of the swell direction. I took the guest out and was having a great sesh, I paddled back to the boat after a while to leave, but the boss wanted me to get the guest out of the water because the tide was dropping out and another wave was going to be better for them to surf. I turned around and paddled back out to the line up to round up the crew, but saw a good set wave pass the guys in the line up so I dropped in and got a little pigdog barrel. I paddled back out to tell them again to leave, but another good set wave came through so I did the same thing and dropped in and got shacked, but when I pulled out in front of the wave because it closed out, I jumped backwards off the board in the starfish position to land flat on the water. I soon came to discover the water was all gone and I went straight into the reef with my back and arm to gain a new fresh fiji tattoo that by the looks will be quite permanent. After this nice reef encounter I came back to the resort for the worst treatment of all... lime juice rubbed all over the back to kill the coral algae, then hydrogen peroxide, then betodine. ooo and glass of Bounty overproof rum to cure the pain because we had no pain meds.//
