Jeremy Flores was injured while surfing in Panama
He traveled with Mikey Wright and Ezekiel Lau to Bocas del Toro and after his third wave he had to return
French CT member Jeremy Flores injured his leg yesterday while surfing at El Bluff, in Bocas del Toro, Panama, which forced him to immediately suspend his trip and return home immediately, as he reported on social media and confirmed by locals in the country to DUKE.
Apparently, on his third wave of the trip, Flores hit a sunken piece of wood that injured his leg, he had to be treated, got some stitches and abandoned the trip.
She wrote on social media: “Quick trip to Panama. Unfortunately I injured my leg so I had to return early. I will be back. This country is amazing.”
The extent of the injury is unknown, but it does not seem to affect the start of the circuit for the Frenchman born in Reunion Island.
Mikey Wright and Zeke Lau remained there, enjoying the wave season in one of the best archipelagos in the world.
