Goldcoast.com.au writer Luke Turgeon has a story about an unfortunate freak accident at Duranbah.
excerpt…
A RUNAWAY jet-ski crashed into a recreational surfer at the Roxy Pro in a `one in a million’ freak accident, according to a Gold Coast boatie who helped pull the injured man from the surf.
The accident happened when one of the contest’s safety patrol officers lost control of his jet-ski and fell off after being hit by a wave at Duranbah yesterday.
The surfer, who is in his 40s and known only as Dave, was stand-up paddle boarding about 150m to 200m offshore when he was struck, breaking a leg.
