time for bed b4 the pain killers wear off

Hi Troppo,

Sorry to hear about your ankle. This raises a question I wanted to ask generally though. How much of your foot can you see on the other side of the strap when you sail? The reason I ask is I barely see more than my toes. The reason is I knew a guy in Perth more than 10 years ago who broke his leg so badly from crashing while caught in a strap (on flat water) that his leg was the worst break the "abmo" had ever seen. I also saw a photo of a pro in a magazine and thought he had a scary amount of foot through the stap.

Bloody hell Junior, you should have stayed here with uncle Bob, no nasty waves mate

Hope you're back on the water fast mate, keep pushing it
