Kraemer Since 24 Apr 2006 1736 Posts Sky Pilot Unicorn Captain Mon Jun 02, 08 7:16 pm     Damn Dude...sorry to hear. $ociopath Since 28 Nov 2007 523 Posts Twilight Zone Addicted Mon Jun 02, 08 7:17 pm     I think one of my front lines was stretched bad, this happened upon launch. I was aiming to the water said kite decided to shoot straight up and backwards instead. My buddy said one of my lines was broken afterward, I don't know if this was from the crash though guess ill be inspecting my lines better from now on. pkh Since 27 Feb 2005 6549 Posts Couve / Hood Honored Founder Mon Jun 02, 08 8:04 pm     Bummer man, heal quick and well! Maybe Chanson can chime in with some advice for hand injuries and kiting. Ike Since 12 Mar 2008 216 Posts Central Oregon Stoked Mon Jun 02, 08 8:17 pm     Give us the blow by blow man....How did you break the wrist I am sorry to hear about it though Hope you heal up quick $ociopath Since 28 Nov 2007 523 Posts Twilight Zone Addicted Mon Jun 02, 08 8:45 pm     Well after my kite shot up and back I was in the air 5 feet, landed 15 feet downwind and came down on my hand. Its an internal fracture the doctor said the fracture was in a direction that was abnormal or that she had not seen before. I see a specialist tomorrow. In the meantime I have perks and beer P.S. Thanks all, Phil so what was the official outcome/decision about the ACL? Good luck with that too!

Shit really happens fast in 40mph wind, that is for damn sure. $ociopath Since 28 Nov 2007 523 Posts Twilight Zone Addicted Tue Jun 03, 08 8:24 am     I went and saw the specialist this morning he said its not so bad as they had told me in the ER; more of one the bones on the top of my hand.Six weeks,thats four by my count no I'm more worried about my job doing damage than kiting.I do heavy construction carpentry they said they would put me on light duty for a while. Intrepidquest Since 09 May 2008 31 Posts HoodRiver   Tue Jun 03, 08 9:51 am     Sorry dude! I broke my ankel two months ago at Lyle. 9m 20-30 or so. My problem was not the kite or wind but my board. I landed rolling backwards with one foot in the board spinning my ankel in the oppisite direction I was rolling. 4 inch spiral fracture from the joint up on the fibula and I broke the Tibia ball clean off. I'm out of the cast now and should be on the water in a week or so. Hope it all works all for ya PeaCe OuT!        Northwest Kiteboarding -> Gorge / Portland / Oregon Coast All times are GMT - 8 Hours Page 1 of 1   Jump to: Select a forum Northwest Kiteboarding Discussion Forum----------------Gorge / Portland / Oregon CoastFor SaleLost & FoundIndustry SoapboxCGKA  You cannot post new topics in this forum You cannot reply to topics in this forum You cannot edit your posts in this forum You cannot delete your posts in this forum You cannot vote in polls in this forum You can attach files in this forum You can download files in this forum
