According to multiple internet reports, San Clemente’s Greg Long suffered a multiple wave hold down while surfing Cortes Bank on Saturday. Long was riding a wave behind Garret McNamara when he was clipped by the whitewash, and the presumably hit by his board in the torso. After being held down, his brother, Rusty, found him floating unconscious. He was then taken to a waiting boat where he came to. Shortly thereafter he was airlifted to a San Diego hospital where he was held overnight as a precaution. Our thoughts are with Greg as he recovers at home in San Clemente.
Greg is a
Californian surfer from San Clemente, California. He is the only surfer to win
the Quiksilver Big Wave Invitational, the Maverick's Surf Contest, and the Red
Bull Big Wave Africa event. Additionally, he is the most decorated surfer in
the Billabong XXL big wave surfing awards. He is widely regarded as one of the
best big wave surfers in the world.
