Speaking of wipeouts, recently saw a skateboarder slide for five feet on his face.

I used to skateboard, but hurt my shoulder pretty bad, so I stopped (concrete and asphalt are hard.....)

The falls are soft in the other two sports.

I windsurf a lot more than I surf (it's Michigan here!), but I have to say, there aren't many thrills finer than being able to catch and ride a wave......wipe-outs are just part of the fun.
