How do you know/not know if a cut needs stitches without making the trip to the ER?

I caught my leg on a nasty rock when I was surfing today. The cut looks pretty bad, but I can't tell if the cut is deep enough for it to need stitches. I'm kinda hoping not, because I don't want them. 😂

I'm a bad person to answer cause I never went and got a bunch of scars that show that lol. But make sure nothing is wrong with your range of motion if it's deep that can be bad.
