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

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
