Damn that is one GNARLY lac! :shock: Never been layed open like that but broke my jaw and had my mouth wired shut for 13 weeks and lived off of soup broth and instant breakfast through a straw.

Glad to hear he is healed up and back at it!

Oooh, that reminds me of the one i got from cave rock when i was 12 or 13 years old, got slammed on the reef while of all things duckdiving a wave! got a nice big hole in my thigh just above my knee, 16 stitches, 2 weeks off school and left with a nice v shaped scar for life! :-)
