Graham´s had the horse injection in his ass, but still in loads of pain.

Don´t think I'm missin much, sailin in da sunshine !

Had my worst kitemare yesterday evening in light wind. I went for as front loop close to the beach, and as I had been flyin a 9 the day before, I lost the kite. It fell out off the sky, I pulled a leader and somehow the Left crossed over the righ side of the bar sending my kite into a spin. I got dragged up the beach, luckily there wasn't a lot of people around. I tried to pull my safety but it wouldn't release. I managed to let go of my chicken loop and the kite crashed. I got away with cuts to my leg and arm, but it could of been much worse. If I was on a smaller kite and in front of the rocks, got knows!

Have a good Weekend

time to get a new safety methinks dunk, I've had a few safety systems fail on me, pretty appalling really considering - have fun in Medano.

gee sorry to hear that Dunk; i swapped all my witchard safetys a few weeks ago for a release chicken loop system by peter lynn from PKS and so far they have been spot on. have fun in the sun sitting on your perch!

Sounds nasty dunk, Im still with my welded on witchard, not that Ive used it since switching to Hybrids, but on C kites it saved my ass many a time. How long you over there, were waiting for the invites for the moving in party!!!!!!

Thanks Guys,

The Naish saftetyy seems to work well, but in a panic things can be different. On the Naish there´s a small bit of velcro, I think this was enough to stop the release. its not really needed anyway so I don´t use it now. As some of you know, there´s a lot of big rocks here in Medano and you really don´t want to hit one face first!

I´m back a on the 29th and sould be completing oin the house soon, so I´ll soon be a propper loacal Shem!

Party on, I´ll let you know.

Later

Dunk
