I agree with you all. He was definitely referring to the accident. He also seemed to talk about the danger of letting fear set in while surfing. You have to believe that you can do it or else, no matter how talented you are, you will fail. For example, in the lyrics "He's got stones instead of bones And everybody knows That can make you real real slow" . Fear immobilizes you. It's like a mind over matter thing.
