It is jixed. I'm a little annoyed right now so I'll try not to scream and ****ing yell too much!!!

I read the thread at about midday on 11/12/2006. I then went sailing.

Second wave, tried a little aerial into upwind 360 thing that looks a bit like an air taka only 6" up off the lip, dunno what it is called but looks pretty ordinary and not too hard. Not even flash.

Anyway, bit of a prang, rolled ankle a bit. Hurt a bit but not bad. Even considered going back out, but next was was gonna go off so I went home to rest it. 4 hrs later, crying (literally) with pain I took some good drugs and thought better go to the Doc.

Fast FWD to now: back and forth to Perth on aeroplanes...... specialist, 2 docs, 2 physios, MRI. Apparently 3 sprained tendons, one done really bad, and broken bone. No sailing 3 months. No season for me, got one week out of about 14 or so at least.

DO NOT read that thread I reckon it is poison.

anyway gotta go have a cry now (trust me, hard not to) **** this ****!!!!

bugger. thats real bad luck.

What gear have you got and can I borrow it for 3 months?

Sorry to hear about your misfortune,

Hey Mark. Did the same thing as you a month ago except i didn't manage to brake anything (physios though i had broken my ankle!, im bloody lucky), just started walking a few days ago (crutches for 3 weeks is not fun)
I feel for you, its not fun at all

You only need to be able to bend your toe joints to walk well. Even with a toe that doesn't bend you can walk almost normally. BUUUTTT a toe that doesn't bend won't affect your windsurfing at all!

Tell them to stick a 2" bolt right up the middle of the bast@rd and you'll be sailing the next day (with panadeine forte and ibuprofen)

What's the antibiotic? Most are fine with alcohol.
