probably due to lack of use of your abs and then now using them when you jump. after hours of boosting you will get sore stomach muscles.

Yeah Grant, don't seek help, ignore your body's signals, risk debilitating injuries, avoid learning something new, and best of all keep men's life expectancy 5 years lower than women's. It's the macho Aussie way.

Perhaps soccer players who fall down squealing after an opposing player brushes their elbow should harden up a bit but if you're really in pain and the best your friends can offer is HTFU, then I'd look elsewhere for advice, and friends.

On Symptoms: If you attend to the whispers, you won't have to hear the screams.

Pre-kiting stretching always helps minimise injury. Don't forget your sit ups too

Personally I never had problems with abs, although I used to bust out like 50 jumps per sesh.
But if you are the less athletic type and want a "pussy solution", you could also go with a seat harness.
It brings some other downsides, like a bit less freedom of motion, edging ability not as good, and a bit of a weird feeling in jumps cause you are kind of sitting in a sling.
But it is gonna be easier on the abs, and most of all on the lower back.

And especially if your edging ability is not great you should be able to jump a bit higher with a seat harness, because you could just lean back and use your bodyweight to counteract the power of the kite.
Which is however not a good technique, so if you are serious about progressing, keep the waist harness and htfu!
The soreness is gonna go away quickly anyway as the body gets used to the new task.

hahaha nah first session after a few weeks without kiting always pull up sore especially in the guts. just gota get out more and use those muscles more frequently.

never mind Gillard or Abbot for that matter - djdojo for PM! No really...

Eric
not calling them all pussies (and rugby players do not put on the performance these guys do ...they may fake a cramp to slow the game up a bit , but thats about it) I am sure there are a few hard nuts out there. But if the world cup is to be decided on who takes the best dive. AKA Italy last time round ( good riddens...... yeah go home pussies) then the game has no credibility. If a 3rd umpire was used and 10 min sinbin penalties(or sending off for unsportsmanlike behaviour) for diving (they could have a nice pink fluffy cage for a sin bin it would go nice with the Alice band.) it might make the game worth watching. I watched Ronaldo the other night ....what an unbelievable talent skills wise ...so why does he take dives.
I couldn't play the game for fear of committing grievous bodily harm to the refs!. Talk about little Hitlers. I cannot watch anymore of the world cup..... it is just a joke.

Have you hardened up yet Grant????

Yep hardened up Rusty, now we just need wind.
