Stingray Pwnage

dude...that sucks!!! were you still by the pier?

parry, no way dude. That stinger was part of a collection this local surf school teacher has managed to put together over the years. I wish my crappy cell phone could focus better cos it had some gnarly barbs. I got stung by an urchin while I was in the philippines ... not fun. But I was lucky cos it was only one sting.

sean, it drifted a bit more north more towards where you were at but yea basically same area dude.

oh yeah, the toe is definitely getting off easy...i've gotten it straight into the achilles and the top of the foot...hot water is the key for most ocean stings, the heat breaks down the toxins

Heat is key...in Mex they tell you to put the effected part of your body in the hottest sand you can stand. Keeping in the hot sand will kill the toxins...then they say to smack it against hard things to break up the spine buried in your body....then the broken spine is more easily pushed out or absorbed by your body.....
I thought that peeing on it was the right thing....boy I got some funny looks while I peed on my foot in front of a crowded beach!!

peeing is only for jelly fish, something to do with ammonia and their venom

jellies are my f33r
would suck to fall off my board right onto one of them haha
