Does anyone know the details?
Sounds like a kiter was lofted in a gust and broke their leg?

Was an ankle injury, no break in the X-ray. Fell out of the sky and landed on the left heel. Hopefully out a few weeks Max, could have been much worse considering what happened!

I was shocked to see your photo FightMac. I was was just talking to you before you went out. I'm glad it wasn't a break and heal quickly! Luckily you are young and in shape. The winds were heinous!

Appreciate everyone’s help last night!! There is no better sporting community in the world. Special thanks to Jon, Lisa and Patrick for helping me through that the whole time.
