Surf: On June 9, 2008, Derek Dunfee severely broke two bones in his foot while surfing Cloudbreak in Fiji. Derek underwent surgery, installing pins, screws, and metal plates into his leg two days later. On Nov 20, 2008, only 5 months after the career threatening injury, Derek caught the winning Billabong XXL paddle-in wave at Maverick’s. Recently, a
short documentary on what happened during those 5 months was posted, showing Derek determined to get back into the water.
