I like your photo. I had 12 scews, 3 plates and a bone graft in mine. Broke it in January 2009 and was kiting in October that year, so cheer up.

thanks for the warning, Was probably getting too cocky in the shallows myself. Will heed the warning

Thanks for your pm the other day !
Can you tell me how your heal goes now after a session with heaps of jumps in it, if your jumping ?

Ouch. I know how that feels - I broke both heels last year - motorbike accident. I got quite good at wheelies in a wheelchair though. Hang in there.

Bugger, I broke my leg pretty badly (tib/fib) 8 months ago, got back into kiting about 2 months back. Hang in there, and don't read into all those bad recovery stories on the web.

I found exercise bike riding to be a good low impact activity to build up my chicken leg once I could sorta walk.

I don't jump anymore just carve around and ride the waves on my Shinn Wave mutant. The foot doesn't give me any trouble kiting. X-rays show that the bone density is not as high as it should be though. I can run but have limited mobility. In 2010 I completed a 7 day hike across southern europe (170 km) without too much trouble. If you're young you'll heal fast and make a full recovery. Don't forget the physio too. Get into a pool and walk, kick, bounce along and get it strong.

exercise bike and walk/swimming in pool daily
then get out on a skim or something strapless with no jumping to get the kite action going again... i had to lazy a chicken leg (nice description!) through some turns at the start, and had a scare or two when i strapped back in and powered up a bit, so just take it easy in lighter winds for a while and keep on the physio routine and you'll be sweet!
