Patrick Yalon - From Near Death to Running Moab
P
7:02Patrick YellonGUEST
Went out, and I recall as I'm going out, it was just a super low tide, and like there were a lot of sandbars exposed.

And just thinking to myself, I'm like, "Okay, this is a little sketchy," but, um, uh, you know, you don't think anything of it really.

7:24Patrick YellonGUEST
Um, I recall hopping on a wave, going right, and all of a sudden, I think my board just hit a sandbar, and it just projected me forward, and, you know, my head, my neck just slammed right into the sand, so I believe it just probably right into another sandbar.
