Gordin, I broke my left middle finger by holding on to the grab loop of a surf kayak in good sized surf January 10 years ago. Jordan River, Vancouver Island, BC. I did exactly what my guide had told me not to do - try to hold onto the kayak! The last phalangeal bone was broken into 3 pieces which had to be pinned together. My then grade 1 daughter took me for show and tell since I had this thing like a paper clip sticking out! At 11:22 AM 26/09/2006, Gordin Warner wrote: >I'm starting a little research project.
