Abstract
Surfing injuries are common but rarely serious. The injuries most commonly affect the lower extremity, head, neck, and face and are most frequently lacerations. Age older than 60 years, injuries to the trunk, and internal organ injuries were associated with a statistically significant increased frequency of hospital admission.
