This time last week i was over at borth and i did the fatal thing of saying to myself "think i'll go out one more time then pack up". Instead of kiting i ended up with a someone elses kite wrapped around mine as it wasnt weighed down with enough sand when a 25 knot gust came in. I ended up with 24m of kite on the end of my lines doing a raggy doll impression all over the beach as it occured when i was launching. As i am only 9 stone it was pretty epic. Although concused it was lucky i was wearing a helmet, which is well dented up, or i wouldnt be sitting here typing this. I have ended up with a snapped collar bone which has put me out of action for 3 months..my new 7m arrived 2 days later which i can only look at, but at least it doubles up as a wind break. I will be out doing my second favourite thing, snapping away with my camera next week at kiters. I will be posting my pics on me website for viewing so hope you enjoy them. Here's a tasty of last week b4 it went wrong...helmets aren't just for chicks, so stick a lid on it.

Sounds nasty dude, glad to hear you are OK.

Look forward to seeing your snaps

Glad your ok dude. Always wear my lid too.

what helmets do you guys have ? I have thought about getting one lately, you do hear some grim stories.

I'll never leave for the beach without my lid. They're getting a bit cooler too. I picked up a mystic helmet a few weeks back and it has a peak on it that makes it look like a baseball cap. My mates all seem to want one now. Glad to hear you survived Cheeks

I allways wear a helmet,twatish or not. I've got a couple of BMX/skate style helmets. Hard shell with a thick poly inner and not forgetting the B.S number. Robin Hood Sports has a massive choice.
