Surfer's Myelopathy is a non-traumatic spinal cord injury that affects first-time surfers. Today, the Surfer' Myelopathy Foundation team announced the launch of the Foundation's website.
Check out the website, and although it's a rare condition, if you could find it in your heart to give to the foundation, I'd really appreciate it.

wow that is crazy. I never heard of such a thing. I have never been surfing with the traditional board, but I have done some body surfing and some snorkeling.

Thank you for this post.
I'm going to have to research this. I'm thinking this happened to a friend of mine.
He took a surfing lesson while on vacation in Hawaii. "Something" happened...the doctors weren't able to identify exactly what. He was in the hospital there for three weeks and was never physically the same afterwards.
Again...Thank you!!!

Almost like fate was just waiting for him to take his first step, or a ride. Sucks. Sounds like a good cause.
