Kayaker launched his Hobie kayak into the surf at Malibu.  Wearing a PFD but no helmet the kayaker started out through the surf.  As he started up over a wave a surf board came over the top inbound.  Board strikes Kayakers head resulting in gash to forehead and possible other injuries.  Surfer assists kayaker back into shore.  Emergency Services is called to render aid to paddler.



This is a second hand report.  Does anyone have more details and/or know the kayaker?
