Tom Lowe is rumoured to have suffered a second dislocation of his left shoulder at Teahupoo.
The St Ives-bred ripper, big wave charger and all round decent bloke is said to have been surfing Chopes at size when a stand-up paddle board being ridden by Laird Hamilton somehow hit him in the shoulder. Cue intense pain as the shoulder was torn from its socket. Hamilton reportedly did his best to help Lowe put the shoulder back in while in the water. Now, though, Lowe is on a plane back to the UK, where it looks as if an operation awaits him.
At this stage, this news is hearsay, and there's no suggestion that Hamilton, Lowe or anyone else was culpable. But if it's true that the shoulder has again been dislocated, here's hoping that Lowey makes a swift recovery.

Now what needs to occur next is the fuller anchoring of the new dream to redirect humanity into more "green" endeavors and towards greater unity and peace
