Amazing Footage of Windsurfer Boujmaa Going Down Hard [Video]

Professional windsurfer Boujmaa Guilloul suffered a serious accident while windsurfing at Hookipa (on the north shore of Maui) attempting a Triple Loop. Guilloul sustained a broken finger, water in the lungs, and multiple bruises. The video is breathtaking.



So what went wrong? Boujmaa told Windsurf Journal: "I do not remember very well ... I remember seeing a wave, one that I was looking to try my triple loop and I did not think ... I just said if I finished twice in the air, I go for a 3rd round. After the first two rotations, I hesitated a bit to see where I was compared to water and I took the rotation may be a second too late. Finally this is what they told me because I personally have no recollection of two seconds before impact. There are still black holes, two seconds before impact and a few minutes after that ... It arriving at the beach I remember relive again if everything was black."

Bad? Yes. But not nearly as bad as Jaymie Graham's brutal knee twist.

So, has anyone ever landed the triple? Not on film. Here's a double.

I was wondering for awhile how you found all these random youtube vids before anyone. Just found out how you do it. I've been looking for a way to get more hits and thanks to your tip(sorta) now I know. Sharing is caring, thanks Bob Blitz.
