Garrett McNamara caiu numa onda gigante e deslocou o ombro.

O acidente ocorreu em Mavericks, na costa do Pacífico, nos Estados Unidos da América, e o surfista havaiano, de 48 anos, teve de ser hospitalizado.

Nesta época do ano, devido à influencia do El Nino, as ondas na região estão ainda maiores do que é habitual.

Veja o vídeo que regista o momento do acidente.


 

Entretanto o surfista já agradeceu o apoio dos fãs nas redes sociais.
