Flotation Vest Saves Mike Parsons

As you may have heard now, big wave surfer Mike Parsons took a hard fall at San Francisco Ocean Beach.

In solid 10-12 foot conditions, Parsons went over the falls where he took a bad fall suffering whiplash.

He ended up cracking a vertebrae and says that he was only saved by his floatation device. When he was underwater, he describes having limited utility of his arms. After he surfaced, he screamed for a nearby surfer to help him to get back to shore.

Parsons is expected to make a full recovery. The whole story is up on Surfline.
