Hi,
I injured myself badly at beach 3, Woodmans point yesterday Wednesday 2/12/15. I had to leave it behind drifting across the bay. My name Megan Bell and mobile 0448696384 is written on the board. A reward of a ctn or gift voucher for anyone that hopefully finds and returns it.
Thankyou

will let you know if I see it drift past Megsy. Should be camped on the point by next week so if it goes past we should see it.

Sorry to hear. Did you get airlifted out by the RAC chopper? Saw one land just as I pulled into the car park. Hope it wasn't too serious.

Yeah that was me :( Open fracture, protruded skin, smashed heel bone, will need surgery and a plate to keep it all together. Guttered but the painkillers are great :)

Thankyou!!

A traumatic accident scenario and horrific injury for anyone.Especially when you never expect it when leaving home. Good luck in your recovery Megan..

Hey Megan,

Ouch, sorry to hear mate. What actually happened?

Thankyou

Hi!
I was attempting a trick and kooked it and came down hard landing on my right foot in the shallows, straight onto my heel which then shattered and protruded all the tissue around my ankle and swelled up pretty badly. Managed to get my kite in, land it and dragged myself to the shore and waved down a guy who was walking along the beach to get me some help! Ouchies looking at 12 week recovery

Could of used the chopper ride to spot your board
Killed 2 birds with 1 stone,

Haha! Didn't think of that, think I was sidetracked, haha! That's the second board I've lost now due to being a kook! I'll learn one day

a chopper to take someone from woodman point to hospital ?

Why didn't they bring in a c-17 globemaster , what a waste of resources .

The C-17 wouldn't have been able to land at Woodies

Hope you have a speedy recovery Megsy and get back out on the water again soon! .

Haha actually it was a chopper from beach 3 to the carpark to the ambo van. The ambos didn't want to carry themselves or me down the beach I guess ??? Def a waste of resources, think it was a 23 second chopper ride

Thankyou!!

Take it easy on strong painkillers endone, tarjin, tramadol, lyrica, panadin forte.
A great release when in sufficient trauma.
Unecesary prolonged use and in no time you will be talking incoherent jibberish.

Hope you get your board back

If it makes you feel any better

I destroyed 1 almost new kite and almost destroyed another four hours later

And wasn't kooking it

kiteboarding has its moments

Hope you have a speedy recovery

Hahaha!!! I feel better already after that story, stuff my board, I just want my foot back. 12 weeks of recovery minimum!! I should be ready for the wild winds in winter.
