Steve Bowens was on a stand-up paddleboard at the time of his accident and said he misjudged the way a wave was turning, resulting in a wipeout that “pushed in” his features. “The wave not big, about 3 feet,” Bowens told SWNS. In the aftermath, he said it looked like someone had poured red paint on his board as the blood poured from his face. “As the impact had imploded the bones which make up the sinuses, this had forced air around my brain, and created a hole from my skull to the outside world through which cerebral fluid now flowed,” he told SWNS. He said if he had passed out, he believes the surfers wouldn’t have known how to get him back to shore.
