Hi everyone,

I'm wondering if anyone out there, has had a transplant? More precisely a kidney transplant and has been able to kiteboard?
I had a transplant last year and looking at getting into kitesurfing but just want to know if there is anyone out there in a similar situation to myself and that could let me know of their experience?

Cheers,

Hi nfb,
I do all my usual activities post cardiac transplant.I must admit I never asked the transplant team in case they say no!Reckon driving a car is the highest risk thing I do.Gear is a lot safer now than when I learnt in 2005 pre tx.Reckon you can make kiting as safe or risky as you want-I'm too old to megaloop anyhow but still love getting air.Rotations going wrong-mainly forwards with unwanted kite loop can be savage.I reckon do it with instruction, pick your days and always go with a buddy.

If Jonah Lomu could continue playing professional rugby after his kidney transplant, I reckon kitings probably gonna be ok.
