I understand you are on the side lines? What happened?
I hope you bounce back and fully recover. In the mean time none of us will complain if you keep throwing together great stuff like this from your
files.
I am always most impressed by the fact you are on top of all styles. I really enjoy the videos where you show them all in one. If you are stuck on
ideas another compilation of all seasons and all rides never gets old!
yea ive got footage coming out my ears so will more then likely put something else together while I'm getting back to 100%.
its my patella tendon that ive snapped and I'm at about 60% at the moment so over the worse of it. probably going to be a month or so before I'm back
out kiting

Oh Carl, that absolutely sucks. Major injury that. Godspeed on your recovery. Was the tendon rupture in some way kite related?
@windstruck ive landed that jump a million times exactly the same and rode away. the only difference I noticed was the sand was really spongy and I
presume my wheels must have dug in and the suction just kept them there.
@ssayre yea my mate was just coming in from a water session and packed all my gear away and a dog walker was immediately on the phone to the
ambulance. then the coast guard came along in their 4x4 and got me off the beach. from accident to hospital mustve been 30 mins max. I just wish the
recovery was as fast
I was chauffeured off the beach by the coastguard to a waiting ambulance
in back at the hospital tomorrow so they can adjust the brace to fully free movement (at 90 degrees atm) itll stop any sideways moition while I
restore the lost muscle mass
ouch ! injury is tough man . i have same patellafemoral syndrone grade 1 on my dominate side, only hurts momentarily at deep flexion, first started
a 2 months ago briefly, then went away(week of storms!) off and on pain for past 2 weeks, stopped riding on land a few days and got better quick,
though still on the water daily without pain though i know it still stresses it. AND today after reading about what you are experiencing i completely
blew off going to beach and did 0. actually went to the beach, damn phone blewing up with text, return to house to post instead.
a milion times, certainly can relate!
time and pressure with repeated mircoinjuries ... joints and muscle have limits esp. as we age. never had a problem on the water, only on ATB makes
it fire. all shock load.
OVERUSE! plain and simple ---->rest! , one of the hardest things i ever had to do.
glad you are healing Carl, be patience with recovery, wishing you all the best... i have traded my ATBriding for foilriding for a while anyways,
its easier on the bones!
I think when I'm able to ride again it will more then likely be in the buggy. ill get back on a board as and when I feel confident enough. the
doctor told me, the repair will be as strong as before the accident but I know my body and will only take it one step at a time.
