Now a painful little toe sounds like a little problem, and on the scale of things it is, but this has been going on for weeks. It hurts to put shoes on and in board straps.

I nomally kite surfboards strapless (I'm not here for a strapless/strapped debate, and as such will ignore posts to that effect.) but decided to try strapped this particular session.

In fact, there were positives, going over waves is much quicker.

I had the straps loose so I could change my stance as required.

I can't remember it happening, but I must have landed hard on my front foot in loose straps at some stage, and my small toe is swollen and really painful for about 3 weeks now.

Does anybody have experience and advice that may help me?

Cheers

grab a hammer and hit your big toe hard

pain in little toe will now seem insignificant

no need to thank me

cheers the burglar

wind is a cure for everything
If we had wind you wouldn't have time to think about anything else

ANd after lots of wind you will be sore all over so it wont matter anymore

After three weeks i just had to go kitesurfing so i just put up with the pain .

sound like you may have broken your little toe.

me i like loose straps. they only on there so the board doesn'r fall of when i'm in the air.

That's the course of treatment I'm currently following.

could be dislocated?

How can I tell, if so, what do I do?

Tried, couldn't, someone suggested a teaspoon of cement, tasted awful, spat it out.
