Cotty's knee meets hurricane Igor

Wish...or don't wish I had this guy's injury issues:

After his second operation for ACL ligament reconstruction in 5 years, the surgeon told Cotty not to surf for 9 months. When hurricane Igor hit Ireland six months later, he couldn't resist. The waves were well within paddle range but Cotty decided to take it easy and tow a couple to see how it felt. These are his first few waves with his new knee.
