I respect tough men and GRAEME SNOWDEN is one tough bugger...
Mate I hope you are recovering from the carnage today....that busted foot was giving you hell ..but to your credit you handled it as a true hardman should...well done mate....
The BIG G took a massive whack to his legs on a jump that went wrong during a big wind session at Kurnell today and busted up his foot....taken off to hospital by the Ambos...Mate the northsissyside boys need to take a leaf out of your book...you ate that pain....

Speedy recovery mate

Just spoke with Graeme . He is still in hospital.His right heal is shattered.He is still in a bit of pain but morphine is helping.He has to have an MRI to determine the full extent of damage.He has been told it will be couple weeks before they can operate on damage as swelling needs to come down.
All the boys are wishing you well Gra ,chin up buddy, you will be back on the water soon.

Ouch, sounds nasty. Looks like that video editor is gonna cop a pounding over the next few months then huh?

Hope it heals up nice and fast Graeme. I'm sure we'll see you back on the water in no time.

Graham was just jumping and the landing went wrong and he came down hard and flat on his board .

A big thank you to all the KKK crew for there help in getting him out of the water and taking care of him until the ambo's arrived.Especially Mallarta who selflisly ripped off her clothes and dived in and supported him until help arrived.

Get well quick Graham.

NOT FAIR Ric, I missed seeing that, she must have been on my blind side.

I have just got back from visiting Graeme in hospital, he is in good spirits and they have put him in the wards. He spent all last night in casualty so not much sleep .

Specialist saw him today,told him his heal is smashed all over the place,told him 2 weeks for swelling to go down,then painful operation,then 3months on crutches, then rehab for however long it takes,then arthur ritis Can't think about kiting for a year I think.

He is coming home tomorrow, says will do some editing on his 2nd KKK movie whilst he waits 2 week for the op.

Graeme wants to thank all the kkk crew for their help, says he doesn't know why Mick attempted mouth to mouth on him though as it was his foot that was busted ,says must of been in too much pain so missed the clothes coming off bit from the beautiful girl too. He would like a repeat performance please but without the foot crunching

I told Graeme he is now an official member of the KKK Kasualty Klub. Are there any of us in KKK land who haven't been smashed up

cheers

Still not clear on what happened. Was it just a normal jump and he landed flat on his board-with his board landing flat on the jump?

Really bummed for you Graham, sorry I've been so busy and unable to get in to see you, but we know whats up through Matt. Its so hard to understand how it could have happened, but it was very windy and choppy, must have been a bit of rogue chop that came up when you were coming down??
Get well soon hope the op is super successful.

Regards

Steve, Peace and Juls

Thanks everyone for your kind words and thoughts. Big thanks to all out at KKK for dropping everything to help me. As Col says I've shattered the heal bone in my right foot and am going for surgery in 2 weeks after the swelling dies down to put it back together.

Here's what happened. I went up for a jump just inside the groyne area like everyone does but not being too used to the small kite I sent it back too far and ended up in a free fall. Thinking back I should have just dropped my bum into the water as I came down but my board landed flat and water is not very forgiving when your board lands like that with you directly above it as I found out. My right foot took all the inpact and collapsed under me.

I'll have plenty of time to finish the next movie now so look for "Kurnell Big Air Day" coming soon.

Thanks again to all - Graeme

You wouldn't believe I have done exactly the same injury - but not as serious as yours. Mucking around on the beach with Cole I jumped into the water playing silly bugger [}:)] and must have landed on something hard with my right heel. Now I am limping and cannot place my ffot down. Nevertheless I am unable to claim it as a real injury.. yours is much more impressive. I guess I'll have to earn my battle scars some other way, possibly just as stupid.

Anyway, best wishes for a speedy recovery man. Been there, done that, wore a cast for 26 weeks. But nobody gave me a T-shirt. You recovery is the most important part of it. Painful or not, fun or otherwise, it will guarantee the speed and continuation of use in perfect conditions.

Here's to you mate ... Don't worry, I'll have your beers

Hi Graeme,

Give us a call mate if you want to know anything about the recovery process,unfortunately its not to crash hot to start with,

But the good news is I am kiting hard again 2yrs after,talk about learning the hard way.
All the best.

Mate! The nasty crap always happens at the beginning of the season, so it'll take ya out of action for the best bits doesn't it? Sorry to hear about the crash. Let us know when the coast is clear so we can smuggle some beer into the hospital for ya. Get better fast mate.

Whats going on...heard that gsnowden took a slab of the cold stuff to KKK yesterday so the grunts who pulled him out of the bay after his heal shattering episode could quench their thirst after a big day out in the nor 'easter.
I have been informed that two ringers were there guzzling the good stuff with the legit resque squad...... One I believe was a joker from the northsissyside ... and the other was that KKK lare who parades around in baby blue coloured board shorts . This imposter wasn't even in the State when the resque took place .....but there he was ......knockin back beers under false pretences......lucky I wasn't there blue boy .....otherwise you would have felt the wrath of the fox in person....not just a kicking on this thread......I'll be watching out for you bud....

on another note...good to see you are up and about Lt. Snowden....even if it is on crutches ....catch up with you soon soldier...

AND... Mr Blue shorts....thanks for the apology....

Hey Foxy
Get your ass back to Iraq. The only one interested in having you back is FelixKF, and only then because you kissed him on your first date.
No apologies from me mate, you'll have to see Cabron for that

You're not my type Poxy Brain. Felix has been asking after you though.
I hear the only real action you've seen is at the wall off Oxford St.

Why is it that you KKK desparados are fixated on " homous " ...if you get my drift...is it that KKK Land is situated deep in " Deliverance " country and you all have close association with the experience of " squeal like a ...... " .

As far as muscle boy's issues are concerned ..... tell him to harden the fark up....see my comment in the sweet landing thread....

oh and blue boy.....thanks for the apology

Poxy Foxy you have taken to many hits to the head boy you are starting to lose it , If blue shorts gets hold of you he will tear you a new a"hole.
You should stick to taking out the chosen ones instead of trying to infiltrate the KKK.
