Heard from a mate who was there last weekend said that a Kiter was taken away in an ambo after been lofted and smashed into the ground. Does anyone know if he's ok?

He's a friend of a friend. I heard he is ok but not for me to say anything more.

Hi macster, thanks for the update. I heard it was pretty brutal so glad he's ok.

Geez Adam, that's hardcore. Are you mobile? Will you have a full recovery? Sorry if that's to personal.
I think I'm talking about the guy after you as it was last weekend. From what I understand (as I wasn't there) was he was launched and a gust can through. The kite lofted and then looped. The guy hit the ground twice very hard I believe.

Would you mind sharing a bit more detail on how your accident occurred so others may learn.
Cheers

Ouch....glade your on the mend and good to hear the other guy should be ok. Its like a siren to the sailors the smooth flat water at Rosie. I landed flat on my back on a sandbar on the weekend after a boost. Luckily only a cracking sound in my back which seemed to stretch me out a bit.
When will you be back out there?
