Ok, today I experienced my first painful moment on the water in a long time.

Was trying to hold a candlestick longer than on previous jumps...got good height, but was dropped like a stone (yes it was gusty), butt first in water and it hurt....all good now though.

Others experience the same?

lol
harden up

land a kiteloop in 26 - 28 kts constant bum first.. thats a enima.. n u fart seawater

I reckon everyone should have to perform a regulation 'enima' landing during the trick section at Kite-X.

I do wear neoprene shorts and a seat...the seat is good when near reef or there are spiky things in the water.

Yea Puppet, a good emina landing should get points.

Wear a seat harness - keeps ya boardies closed tight. As long as your boardies aren't thread bare your back door is safe! Hate the smell of rotting seaweed farts - not fun Cheaper than paying for a fancy day spa flush out though!!

Have definatly experience the hard water slap on the spuds though Good for singing along with the Vienna choir. attemps to get wifey to help massage the bruised area fell flat...

Also had my board fall off my front foot just before touch down and go sideways between the stumps!! Ended up straddling each side of the fence!! Fkn ell!!! Lucky I saw it coming and just got a bit out of the way so as not to split the spuds completely!!

Glad I had a floaty vest on that day as I was floundering for at least 5 minutes with the kite parked on the water

Had a very similar experience. Discovered gravity and took a massive slapper on the butt, which knocked the wind right out of me. Pulled up quite sore for the next few days. But it was only when I got boozed and decided to moon some people that I realised the extent of the damage. Upon dropping my pants, the party went quiet and asked me what I had done to inflict such severe bruising. Looked in the mirror to see the entirety of my butt coloured nice shades of black/blue/red...

Were you at the Blue Oyster Bar by any chance???

thread is useless without pics/video

Just remember ....... If you are about to get the high speed water enima thingy ..... Keep your mouth closed ..... Prevents the awful taste of polluted seawater moving up the alimentary canal and out your mouth !!!!!!!
