I chatted to James this afternoon while he lay in hospital after breaking his lower back (L1).
I know that there are many concerned friends so first off he isnt paralyzed but will be in a back brace for at least 2 months.
He said that after hitting the sand bank he knew his back was broken. He let himself be washed ashore where he waited for anyone to walk past and move hit up the beach. Rescuers tried to carry him off the beach and even brought 4×4 vehicles but this proved to bumpy. He was later airlifted out and taken to hospital.
We are all holding thumbs for a good recovery
