| Blowhard (John) represents the best in watermen. He is strong, aggresive and analytical and will do what it takes to bounce back from adversity. Let's all send him positive thoughts and prayers so he can recover and get back to living large.

So he is gaining strength already can walk and has balance, should be back kiting if he wants.

crossing my fingers. i hear the problem mainly affected his speech. hard to imagine blowhard at a loss for words, but so long as can kite and give a thumbs up he can fulfill his responsibilities as mayor

I think the usual therapy is to repeatedly excercise whatever part of the body is affected...so if all John has to do is talk more...should be an easy recovery!
 
Do your excercises John!!!

John is tough as they come & charges harder than most 20 yr olds.
Thinking about you & Nancy buddy!

john has escaped the hopspital and reportedly returned to the coastal habitat..
He is speeding along the road to recovery already.....
Thanks for all the kind words from friends I know john was touched.
We have a great kiting community here in the northwest.
John can be back on the water in as little as 3 months.
I think he can make some good videos in 3 months and maybe run a babysitting service beachside..
pete so you did or dodnt take the photo

Stupendous news! Glad to hear John is back at home and that much closer to some future water time.
