Yes, it has been a great season in South Florida. The best in years by my reckoning. Oh, remember to warm up thoroughly before kiting as he gimps off into the sunset.

Laying out your lines, rigging up. One more safety check of your gear. Launch, grab your board and hit the water............... Oh wait I forgot to strech out, Ahhhhhhhh I'll take it easy for the first few tacks ![]() 2 hours later after that increditable session, once the stoke wears off a little you can feel it. Ohhhh the pain, the pain (as I massage my thigh & calf muscles) I'll never make that mistake again, Untill next time ~LOL~ |

In my case it was actually a snow skiing accident, that happened on Delray Beach?! I had just returned from some time in the mountains and probably was pretty tight in the calves (that is legs, not little cows). I had a nice powered session with no problems on the water. I went to solo land a different type of flat kite for the first time. My normal hold fasts for the chicken loop wouldn't work. So, I buried my board and attached my chicken loop to it. Problem is, the loop pulled away. So, I sprinted off after the kite at full speed in soft yielding sand and felt and heard a pop and then the familiar pain. Damn, just messed up the gastroc in the other calf I thought. It may not be as bad as that or require the 1 1/2 year to heal as before, still it does make you walk funny. Warmups are good, even if the time they seem to take hurts, hindsight, sigh.
