Achilles tendon area issues and kiteboarding?
 
I came across a posting that intrigued me a bit for personal reasons. Does the Forum have an impressions on this and perhaps a tie in to kiteboarding? It could be a totally unrelated injury of course.

Back foot pressure is obviously critical to going up wind, loading up for jumps etc. Anybody know how healthy you Achilles needs to be before applying such strains?


I am sorry to hear about your injury. I strained the gastroc just above that area in a whopping 4 to 5 mph wipeout skiing last December. Another freak accident. The area is starting almost feel normal after 7 months of healing. Anyone else have problems in this area?

Never had one, don't care to have one.

I'm not sure that you could publish a consensus on that question as the severity can vary as well as the rehab.
