"I’m so grateful for those who where there in my scariest and darkest hour and who acted on my behalf to get me to safety and reach the hospital in time," Dollar said. "I’m thankful to learn that even with these severe injuries I will make a full recovery."
According to the statement "a strong south swell reportedly produced strong waves with unfavorable mixed conditions," and that put "Dollar in a critical scenario that caused him to act accordingly to protect himself."
He was cared for by fellow surfers and then rushed to an emergency room, where he remains in stable condition, Titans of Maverick's said.
The San Jose Mercury News reported that Dollar struck his head on a rock during the accident.
"He got really lucky, as lucky as the doctors have seen," big wave surfer Darryl "Flea" Virostko told the paper after speaking with Dollar on Tuesday. "He's recovering, he's going to be OK."
