Hello Tom,

Hope the pain goes off soon and full recovery comes fast. This is the first type of this accident that I have heard of. Considering how it happened you would think it might be more common among kiters. Did your doctors comment on how common this sort of injury is in general?

You launched a jump and just before landing one foot came out and you tried to reinsert it. On impact with the water the edge of the board slammed into your shin? Was there much bleeding from the hit?

Sorry for all the questions but this is a new one. Feel better fast!
