I was out of the water for 8 months. Couldn't wait to get back. Still sailing but in WA now.
JP 747. That is one of the reasons I posted it. Don't think it will do much good but yah gotta try. It not just pointed at Kite surfers. We all need to take care.
Just to give you some idear I took an inch of the front of the other board and peeled the deck back. Hair & flesh imbedded in the board. The other bloke never sailed again ! While I was in hospital another guy came in after being speared in the stomach. He jibed and fell forward. His mate used him as a jibe bouy, he popes up in wast deep water and his mate runs into him.
