I tore my whole nail off kitin on the wkend end up at old bar, I somehow wacked my hand/finger on the bar trying backroll kiteloops and it came off but just hangin on by a thread. I kited in and found some electrical tape and put my nail back on and taped it all up and went back out again coz i was really enjoying myself
Well, then my nail sorta re glued itself back on and was looking heaps dodgy so i went to the docs and they had to rip it back off again and here is the end result
I bought 20 bux worth water proof bandages today coz theres a southerly tomorrow

Ouch
Will be cheaper to get ur nails done now

yea feel your pain i dropped my kiteboard on my toenail it destroyed it and i had to rip it off.

hey trant, looks nasty...exactly how long did it take to grow back... and how long till it drys out... mine is still wet/weeping and gross... doc said i can get it wet in the ocean n stuff... and i been told i can wear a bandaid over it and i have to keep it covered for work (i cant let it just air out)... i nearly passed out twice tryin to get the gauze off it today that the doc put on... it took me an hr to get it off, soaking my finger in a bowl of warm water n gently peeling it off ....
any other advice?

Respect! Owwwwwww! I can't believe you ripped the whole nail off! I thought it was just the acrylic :(

I knew I didn't want to know any of this stuff.

Time for you to self administer those corona's I think kitegirl.

and to think - all this could have been avoid if you stayed home and did the housework

well at least you can still push the mower with the other hand

That knuckle looks a lot like my nutsack


So ur nutsack must be quite small then

Nickoff - that is uber nasty, think I'm gonna sue you for psychological trauma for posting that.

KIT33R - Totally agree, did it just after I read Kitegirl's first post.

Kitegirl - you're terrible.

Kitegirl is tough, yes.

The pretty loud yellow tape she used to hold the nail on was only matched by the pretty LOUD screams when the nail was almost torn off.

The locals learnt several new words

i hate this tread so i didnt read any of it.... but it was pretty funny how holly was telling me about how she has NEVER torn a nail off with enamel nail polish and then a day later this happens. hahahahaha
