That sucks Jay, hope you heal up quick!

I have always wore booties when riding in the bay, and walked "lightly" when I was in the water. Always tried to make sure that when I crashed I didn't try to land on my feet!

Booties save me big time at Front Side Skway. It was low tide and I was walking in to take a brake. When I got close to shore I was in a foot deep of muk! I felt something sharp hit my foot and I instantly just feel on the ground to get the pressure off. After I landed my kite I looked at my booty and it was cut a little from whatever I steped on. I had a huge red spot on my foot. I know if I was not wearing booties I would have had a huge gash from whatever it was that I steped on. Scott said it best, where booties and walk lightly. That is what saved my foot that day!
