I lost...


Trying to dial in this charger... Got some lawn mowing in despite some issues... Hell even popped a couple no nothing jumps...

Well long story short, the charger luffed as I was riding, and started to float downwind... Knowing that it was going to power up in the center of the window (just was my luck today) I started to bail off of the board...

The kite lit up hard and fast (way worse than it ever has)

As I hopped off the board, the charger whipped me to my left (& up) and I landed on my right foot funny.... Pretty good sprain (god I hope its not worse) but ya.... No walking for me atm... Bleh, injuries suck SO bad!

Wind won..... I lost

Man that is why I like the water better. Much more latitude to make mistakes without injury.

Nothing broke (either that or I'm a freaking super hero)

I can almost walk without a gimp today... Its still a little tender, but if the winds will have it ill be flying this weekend... On the upside its a good week for an injury... Full sun, right around 100, and <10mph wind, every day.... Sucks for kiting, great for recovery!

Now.... Winch build time :evil:
