Fundraiser for Liz Crokin

 

In 2018, I took a surf lesson with Toes On The Nose and the Hyatt Hotel in Huntington Beach. I was told via their own ads Iโ€™d be provided a leash with my lesson. I had taken previous lessons with other businesses and had always been given a surfboard with a leash. So when my surf instructor did not give me a leash, I asked him if there was some new rule or if something had happened prompting them to no longer provide leashes anymore. For example, a new rule that deemed leashes were no longer safe. He said yes, so I believed him and proceeded on with the lesson. As a result of not having a leash during this lesson, two of my fingers were severed on my right hand (my dominant hand) by the board string. The only purpose of the board string on a surfboard is to attach to a leash. Without a leash itโ€™s a hazard. I wouldnโ€™t have lost my fingertips if they had provided me a leash as promised via their own literature.

 

 

The loss of my two fingertips required me to get multiple surgeries, go to rehab, and seek other ongoing medical care. Also, I had to buy expensive prosthetics in order to type again, a process that took two years, and as most of you know, I write for a living. The emotional distress and physical pain this injury has caused me has been unbearable.
