Cloudbreak Barrels & A Broken Leg

Mitch Parkinson and Jackson Coffey got themselves into some solid Fijian barrels on this mission. The power of this wave is highlighted by the broken leg suffered by an American charger by the name of Andrew Jacobson.

Hope he has a good recovery and has a beautiful return to the water. God bless buddy.

[@Yawarrior]

How did you break your neck? You were riding some powerful tropical waves and hit the reef or sand bar???

[@mteokay1246]

Hope you are doing well wherever you are. Sep 2022 !

Getting hurt on a wipe out is so random. You see guys have insane wipeouts and nothing happens then once in a while someone gets really hurt. I've had my worst wipeouts on smaller days. In Hawaii I got pitched over the falls on 12 foot faces straight into the reef 3 times in a row and nothing happened. It was totally thrilling, then one time on a big day I took a smaller wave, like an 8 foot face and got my head chopped off by the lip and got body slammed so hard it knocked the wind out of me and it was the most terrifying feeling because I couldn't catch my breath.

Then how u came out of it

[@parabola8933]

@@apurvajain2435 Luckily there were no sets coming in so I hung onto my board and caught my breath then paddled in.

Great video ! Does anyone else here is struggling like i am to get the name and artist of the first song ? That guit is playing on repeat in my head and i dreamed of cloudbreak last night because of it 🌊🎸

[@hotstep777]

Did he break his leg or destroy his knee? Heal fast!! Bois were killing it!!

[@Killemgrillem00]

Looks like a dislocated knee... I think a break may be better.

[@mls01981]

Destroyed his knee, as bad as it can get -- knee dislocation, patellar fracture, torn ACL, PCL, LCL, MCL.

[@JohnCarter-eg4ws]

Nice waves ,bummer about the leg though.How is the hospital there , how far is it to the hospital?

[@pearlofqatar7779]

boat trip across to the mainland or seaplane, which ever way hope they had plenty of drugs on the island. or maybe with the influx they may have some medical facility on the island...80's i was last there so it was at your own risk back then.

[@Killemgrillem00]

Dislocated knee or broken leg ? Witch poison do you choose?

[@anotherworldviewispossible]

Man-scale... 6-8' - top to bottom, in the tube... Maybe twice that, as a cresting peak. 6-8' of deepwater SWELL.
