Enough time for a Proper Surf

I made it home in time for a proper surf, I'm very happy but I twisted my knee. I was going to go to Riptide tonight but wimped out. I went all the way to Judah to find an ATM that could read my card, and then got lazy about going to riptide. I better go next Wednesday. Is it just me or is it not a proper surf unless you get injured and held down at least once?
