That is too bad, yes please give him my best wishes for a swift recovery. Those shallow water wipeouts can be really bad. I had my first example of this many years ago, in 1999 or 2000 I think.

A skilled Florida kiter kitesurfing with open cell foil had a bad jump landing in about 3 ft. of water. He pretty much exploded one of his knees. Shallow water can be fun but it sure can be a pain too.

Heal fast Jimbo!
