Just saw through the BWS facebook page that Ben was rescued and will be out for a few months. Anyone know what happened?? Obviously if someone like Ben can come unstuck it can happen to all of us. But I'd like to know what went wrong to prevent it happening to me?? Hope he has a speedy recovery.





it says

I want to say a HUGE thanks to everyone who came and rescued me off the rocks yesterday, the ambulance crew and everyone who has been sending messages to see if I???m okay, I really, really appreciate it and it???s been a very humbling experience. No matter how in tune you think you are, the elements always have the last say. I???ll be out for a few months, but I???ll live and I???m just so thank full I had an amazing couple of days of kiting before it all went down at my favorite event of the year.

I believe it was the Merimbula Classic???

He posted a before and after photo on instagram showing him punting off a wave then sitting on the rocks with what looks like a knee issue.

But there's enough people there who can report actual happenings :)

thats at short point in merimbula!

Don't hold back?????

NOBs ,you are a fair dinkum tool

Here's some fresh material for the safety-geeks to chime in on. ^^^

lol.

Spot on waveslave, bloody dangerous that. Hauling a bloke on a stretcher up a steep slope without strapping him on properly.

Strapless is wayyy cooler...
