Big Wave Catapults Boarder 20Ft In The Air, Leaving His With A Burst Lung

Surfer Craig Stroh captured the moment professional body boarder pal Jack Baker's was wiped out by the swell as he watched from the shore in Cronulla, Sydney, Australia.

Jack, who was riding a small 4ft wave, lost a litre of blood and was rushed to hospital when he was launched 20ft high and 40ft forwards by the impact of a second 'backwash' wave hitting him.
