Yes they were fishing off Nth Avoca not Avoca was a group of asians i believe and a freak wave came. But from when i checked the surf no way it would of been safely fishible specially at nth avoca generally picks up bigger swell. My mate was spearfishing a bit further round of the skillion and he said even that was dangerous so an unfortunate accident. Its the second accident near avoca in the past cpl of days as my lil brother was also badly injured round avoca be on the news soon. He is in weastmead intensive care wit serious spinal injuries and has 2 broken vertabraes in his neck and 24 staples in his head from the injury. So yer i no ill be staying away from the stones for a little while.
Condolences to your lil brother, hope he is ok. Just shows how dangerous the sea is. Sorry about your pain Tyrone.

Ty...Sorry to hear about your brother mate. Like Pete says...he is in good hands at Westmead.
Mate, I'm not far from there. If you need anything while down this way, just give me a holler!
Cheers all boys its unbelivable how supportive everybody is. Couple of hard months ahead but we should get through. Thanx everybody for their well wishes will keep u all informed of his progress. The one thing he asked for yesterday was if hes fishing rod was alright.
Very sorry to hear about your brother Tyrone. Best wishes to him, you and your family
Tyrone sorry to hear about the bad news reitirating the sentiments if theres anything I could do to help, did he get his rod /reel back Im sure I could rustle up a hand me down if he didnt.
Take back about nth avoca they were fishing sth avoca near winney bay. Its belived one was washe din a couldnt swim and the other man jumped in to save him also couldnt swim. My brother wasnt fishing at the time but for some reason he thought he was but they were jumping off. He was able 2 wiggle his toe in his right foot this morning so is a good sign.
He was able 2 wiggle his toe in his right foot this morning so is a good sign.
Lets hope he keeps improving. And like Phil suggested...I think between a few of us we should be able to rustle up some kit for him if needed.
Tyrone,
I have a young friend who was hurt in a mountain bike accident. His initial prognosis was quadraplegia. 9 months later, after an inordinate amount of hard work, a few operations, and sheer guts, he is walking and has returned to school.
Wriggling toes are just the start of a long road to recovery, but it is that, the start of his recovery.
Best of luck to him and to you and your family.
Cheers
Ken
First operation is tommorow where the neurosurgeons have to take a bone out of his hip and place it into his neck held with another metal disc. BEcause he is so young and still growing it is a dangerous operation and has 2 be performed a couple of times. Thanx everyone for their concern etc i will let him no everybody is thinking of him.
As the lads have sauid ty, thoughts are with you and your family.
Bit of good news now boys his operation today where they took a bone out of his hip and put it in his neck was a success. So now we have 2 see how he recovers from this but the neurosurgeons were extremely happy. And again thanx for all the support boys.
Good News Tyrone, he'll be in our thoughts daily. I'm sure he will be ok. The doctors these days are so good. One of my best friends got hit off a motorbike, broke his neck in two places, he lives a good life these days. Has titanium pins in his neck, arms and legs, but he is here, and that is the main thing, oh and he's walking and running and fishing.
And Praying Ty.
He's in the big fellas hands (best hands) and as Xtosea says in our prayers.
Go with God, Ty
