What was he doing ?

mmmmmm
sucking hard on the green straw ?????

Apart from showing his weakness with the green whistle, the man had the balls to go out in 50+knot winds!
Hope you recover well!
Broke mine a few years back, and had to have a titanium plate inserted to keep my wrist together. A week in hospital and 6weeks off work!

I was out at stkilda and there is no way it was 50knts
A good 35 to 40

one of the safer beaches on the bay too.
the beach is a good 70 metres wide near the lifesaving club and the water is deep.

1 broken leg st Kilda
2 broken legs Rosebud
1 broken ankle st Kilda
1 broken wrist Hampton
1 fractured skull Altona (still in coma)
And thats just port phillip bay since xmass

Hi all,
You will be glad to know that he is doing fine, wrist hasn't been fixed yet but he's still alive and home. Just shows that even been a doctor doesn't mean things happen straight away.
It may have been 35-40 at st kilda and thats about the average range at hampton but at the time it happened some massive squalls came through that were definately over 45 knots. two people stayed out during the whole front, both good riders on small kites (SHQ riders). there were a few 5-7m kites on the beach with people just standing on the cliff watching. The water had been driven to within about 10m of the bluestone that boarders the beach by the time he left. To give you an idea of the swell, james ditched his kite and went surfing while we waited for it to die down a bit. Hampton is an intermediate riders beach, especially on a westerly. Most people would struggle to get off the beach...
Awesome session had by all, post this event... minus the lack of whistle sharing ;)
Everyones been asking after you bro and wishing you well
