UPDATE: Karl was back in action on Sunday and ripped in the Best Trick contest. I’ll be posting more photos later this week. Always rad to see KW!—Blair
Sounds like Karl Watson had mishap on the course at Tampa Pro. Send him some love and wish him well…
From the Kayo site:
“Organika’s Karl Watson was busy spending the weekend getting ready for Tampa Pro this weekend. Everything was going perfect, and Karl was feeling good.
Then something went wrong.
Going up the vert wall, Karl was stuck between Chico and Pete Eldridge, and caught the bad end of a board to the face. He is currently feeling better but at the hospital awaiting a CAT scan to see if surgery is needed. Please post some positive comments for Karl, he wishes he could have skated the contest!”

I met you one time in toronto at a demo. there wasnt many people there so we were skating with you guys. I remember trying some easy trick on the mini and you were just like “yea!”, just pumped to see me trying something. Then after the demo we rolled one and got lifted with you guys. You are one of the nicest and most genuine people i’ve ever met (and you have style!) Get better man

I met Karl at Tampa a few years back and my friends and I were all wearing IPath’s and he noticed that so he came up to us and chatted for a while. last week one of those friends met him again at a skateshop signing and told me he remembered, crazy! anyway im glad to see Karl ripping and not sitting on the bench!

Karl is an amazing technician since the nineties… Blowing never-seen-before tricks, with smoothness like i don’t know… Tech with a cat-style ! Knowing that after being injured, he came back to work some front-nose-front-tail the hard-way on a curb… It blows my mind… Karl is one of my favorites since the ftc days… Keep it smooth, karl !
