I was wondering if anyone out there has had or are dealing with a lumbar disc herniation? Would using a seat harness help? Thanks in advance Dan Hey mate. I've got a prolapsed disc at L4/5, as well as annular bulges in the ones above and below that level. I had a partial laminectomy back in 1992 an...

BWAHAHAHA!!! Oh lordy....you just gotta love trailer trash

Kitesurfing was the final nail in the coffin of my marriage. I think the clincher was when I promised, under pain of death, to spend the whole of xmas day at the inlaws' place. I think I lasted about 2hrs before it got windy and I bailed to go kiting 8) I was single before new year's :lol: Now that ...

I've helped a number of noobs now, who were in the process of setting up but had no real idea of what they were doing. Almost all welcomed the hel...

What goes through my mind during a wipeout?

Usually the vivid recollection of how much the last wipeout hurt

What happens after the wipeout is determined by how good it was. Most of the time it's "Phew!". A couple of kiteloop wipeouts have left me semi-stunned and seeing stars

Hi Guys, <snipperooni> I'd appreciate the help... :) Cheers, Chris Hey mate. If you can't get any joy down there and you don't mind going for a little bit of a drive, give me a yell and head up here to Elliott Heads. I'd be more than happy to give you a hand, plus you'll get to kite at one of the b...
