what a session saturday gave. big winds at gennith flying lit on the 10m vegas an going huge. A dabble on richs 7m vegas and an accidental double unhooked kiteloop that i didnt land but got away with just about.
i drove home had a shower and everything was good. untill i went to go downstairs, i tripped fell and now have my wrist in a cast with a suspected fracture. im out for a minimum of 10 days then back to the hopital for more x rays and if its feeling good then i get away with it. if not then the ast goes back on for 6 weeks.

be carefull out there guys and gals. you dont know how dangerous those stairs can be No

Dude that's seriously bad luck! All those crazy tricks you pull on the beach and then you go and break it falling down the stairs!!! Shocked

Hope it heals quickly. I had my left arm in a cast for twelve weeks when I broke my scaphoid falling off my mountain bike... ooops Embarassed

Hope to see you back out there soon...

Its fixed! its stiff and a bit tender so ive agreed to take it easy for a bit untill its back to full stregnth, ive got my power ball out of the drawer and just have to use it nice and easy untill im all strong again.

as for the water, im getting a wetsuit in a month or so, ive already got a regular surfboard i can use in teh waves (well i can in theory use it, actually havent tried yet but im sure ill get the hang of it eventually or just give everyone else a laugh) and ill be stealing twi tips every now and then for a giggle. but im a land lubber at heart.
there are a few things i want to try on the water first before i attempt them on land. ive been watching kiteloop 3's on diffrent vids and i recon i can do it but i dont want to have the first few crashes on land id rather make a splash than a dent on those lol

look after your selfs people its no fun wrapped in a cast.
