Abstract
There is a fair amount of literature on motorized water craft injuries, towing related trauma and surfing injuries. However, there is limited research on most injuries sustained in non-motorized ocean sport activities. This study evaluated aid provided for non-motorized ocean activities by the San Diego Fire-Rescue Department/Lifeguard Division in San Diego, California. The objectives of this retrospective analysis included: (1) identify the incidence and characteristics surrounding non-motorized ocean sport injuries; (2) better understand injuries sustained from marine animal encounters; (3) identify potential public health interventions to treat and prevent common non-motorized ocean sport injuries.
