The three -time World Surf Legend Champion Mick Fanning was stitched in the face after an incident that illustrates the danger of the huge waves that are approaching the southeast coast of Queensland ahead of the Tropical Alfred cyclone.
The rider of the World Fame Board was among the surfers taking full advantage of the huge waves in Kirra Beach, just south of Gold Coast, earlier this week, when it was cleaned and there was a bloodied disaster in the water.
Cyclone Alfred has produced mass waves at the place of world renowned and Fanning, who lives locally, left his table and stayed with an unpleasant worrying wound near his eye.
He published a photo of Instagram damage with the subtitle: 'A couple of stitches to go with a couple of tubes. Well go again.
Fanning is not the only Australian legend that risks injuries to set up the enormous good, with the 1999 world champion Mark Ochilupo also visiting the area.

'It is very important because there are rebel waves that can take you and drag you to the sea.
'The waves have been quite resistant, but there are still some quite good (for surfing), surprisingly.

'Yesterday I was seeing (surfing large) Joel Parkinson and Dean Morrison Tow (in waves) in North Kirra.
“Fifteen feet, 12 feet, were reaching barrels … that is approaching the size of Hawaii.”
When asked when he would become too dangerous for him, he said that surfers already need a water motorcycle in the current conditions, and said the riders are worried about the waves that are destroyed by sandbans that help Kirra like Kirra Soo Good.
On Thursday, the progress of Ciclón Alfred to the coast stagnated, with the delay of heavy rains and mass waves that will hit the southeast of Queensland and northern NSW for longer.
The NSW Prime Minister Chris Minns said that Alfred was like a “guest of the unwanted house” for being late and then spending for longer, with 24 communities in the north of the state preparing to evacuate.

The world -famous rest in Kirra Beach has been producing waves of monsters while Alfred is before throwing earth on Friday or early Saturday.
Schools, offices, public transport and Gold Coast airport closed when the southeast of Queensland fought, waiting for heavy rains and storm force winds when Alfred approached.
However, many in Brisbane woke up Thursday with the blue skies after category two system stagnated.
The last forecast predicts that Alfred will hit between Sunshine Coast and Gold Coast on Friday or early Saturday, almost 24 hours later than the initially predicted.
It will be the first cyclone to impact the southeast coast since 1974.
“That will still bring generalized impacts that we have been talking about all week,” said the dean of the narramore weather office.
The destructive winds affect the communities of Bayside and coastal when Alfred finally arrives, with heavy rains that lead to floods in the southeast and north of Queensland.
Alfred will also trigger an important coastal erosion, Narramore warned.
