crazy, and just the right amount makes for a good time.

OUCH!
Sorry to hear, not good. I can relate. How long before you can get out of bed?
Do as you are told and things will get better. You ready to get rid of the Ace? Or are you unable to think clearly yet?

CJ I am an old man compaired to you. But 4 tears ago I broke a vertibre and hurneated 2 discs. I had surgury and for the most part I'm back going full
blast. I say do just what they tell you no matter how stupid it sounds to your teenage ears (I know it sounded stupid to my 40+ ears) but it is all
for your best.
I hope a speedy recovery and at least come see us in the spring even if you arent allowed to hot dog around.
ps. I hope you have cute nurses!!:wee:

I'm happy to hear you're going to make a full recovery. My 2 cents:
1) Listen to your doctors and the physical therapists so you heal right.
2) Don't ignore them once you start to feel OK.
I love Nahant but rarely get there anymore.

I have to concur with 1 & 2 above. I have now missed three days of work taking care of things at home while trying to keep my wife quiet after a
surgery on Tuesday. She is not the type to listen to me or the doctors cause she feels fine. A little more time healing now should give you less aches
and pains or worse later.
Please listen and I pray you have a speedy/complete recovery.

Oh no CJ,I'm sorry to hear that little dude. Ditto what everyone else said about the docs and therapists. Physical therapy will be painful more than
likely,but you gotta man up ,and do it. You are young so I have no doubt you will bounce back. Now you see why the 5m ACE is called "the widowmaker"
If you need anything ,let us all know.
Get well dude, and take it easy for a good while.

Use the down-time to make a few Nasa Power Wings and handles. I know you were planning to make NPW-5s but you should try a NPW-9b which offers more
up wind ability. They're safer than other kites because they can't loft you. You can't jump them but they are still fun. Here's a link to NPW9b
plans: http://freedom2000.free.fr/NPW_NPW9B_plans_eng.html#NPW_prog
I'm pretty sure you used one of my NPWs at Wildwood. It was about a 3.5 meter and you were doing fine on it . Start out with a 3.5 and then make one
larger like a 4.5.

arrgghhh....
edit: CJ , don't give up your groundboardin just yet dude. You don't have to get alot of air to landboard. I love to tear up the beach sandsurfin and
just cruisin around. Just use a lower A/R kite around 4m, that would go good w/ your 2m beamer.

Awesome about the stickers! Do you want a Peter Lynn sticker? If so u2u me and I'll get one out to you. Take it easy, I hate trying to explain to
people what kiteboarding is. You'd think they'd at least see it on tv
