I would like to convey my appreciation for the support given by the kiteboarders at the bar at Caloundra yesterday.
Was sailboarding and rammed my left leg hard into something ( sand or rock or both) with my knee locked and busted my heel bone.
I can't remember names ( I think I was in a bit of pain) but could not have hoped for better and more ernest assistance from the guys and even wives and kids.
Thanks again and cheers
Mark

No problems at all Mark.....I have had a pretty bad accident on the water before and I don't know where I would be if it wasn't for my Kitesurfing buddies helping me out. No words can describe this debt I owe them. Very disappointed to hear about your broken heel though.......A few months off the water and you'll be fine. Look forward to seeing you back out there soon mate.....maybe you'll consider crossing to the dark side of wind powered sports hey
