Nearly killed Tommy - be careful out there - we were aware of the unsettled weather and expecting gusty stuff last Sunday - hell I was on a 5m but surprising how quick things can go bad.

One minute it is blowing 20 and a having a casual chat while preparing to launch the last man on the beach with my kite in the air - next minute blowing 40+ and getting yarded and giving Tom the launch of death. Very scary watching Tom's kite rocket across the window and then blow away.


Heal up Tommy Boy.

Rollo dont you get hurt every season about this same time? Rib, ear drum, finger. Maybe we need to put you in a full padded suit for your own safety. Hope you heal up fast.

Sorry to hear about your finger Rollo.
How long will you be off the water?
Maybe all you need to do is tape a Popsicle stick to it, eat a couple of pain killers and hit it. Shocked
I hope you heal fast. Nows a great time to work on your camera skills.
See ya soon
