Well you can't tell by just looking at someone, but as soon as you start looking into the ear canal the full horror of surfers ear starts to reveal itself. The slow growth of bone starts to close the ear canal - here's a picture of Tim Ellman-Brown's right ear, he's a surfer from Newquay and an all round great bloke... but he's got some seriously messed up surfers ear!.. if you need to compare it with a normal ear then look at the other photo.. I will leave it up to you which one you think is the normal ear!!!
