People magazine: Related:Shawn Dollar, surfer of world biggest waves, breaks neck in four places Despite the four fractures, Dollar somehow avoided paralysis as he had feared, according to The Guardian. I heard the breaks in my neck, and I immediately wasn’t sure if I was paralysed, Dollar, 34, told People magazine in an interview the magazine said was conducted from his hospital bed, where the pro surfer has been fitted with a neck brace. Dollar, who holds the world record for the largest wave ever paddled into, suffered the neck injuries and head trauma when he struck a large rock after wiping out on Monday while surfing along the central California coast. The married father of two said that immediately after hitting the boulder he lost feeling in his arms and legs. It was just like I was in a cauldron of rocks with waves breaking on me. I barely had the strength to move, let alone get on my board and paddle out and climb over rocks to shore, he said.
