Tossed a dead fish out of the way at the launch today, got a puncture in a finger tip from the dorsal fin. (Some piece of shit Walleye or Bass.) Now my fingertip is swollen to double size and hurts like hell. So, one more thing to be careful of out there... Great downwinder though!!! Totally worth it.

Yep, Dalton. consumer Since 28 Nov 2010 406 Posts banned Obsessed Thu Oct 04, 12 11:35 am     Dude. Didn't realize you said today. How long since the initial prick. Consider an infection in which it would be red, inflamed, migratory, extremely painful. Should begin after some time (days) after first prick. Emergent situation. genek Since 21 Jul 2006 2165 Posts East Po KGB Thu Oct 04, 12 12:06 pm     Sorry to hear that Nak. I'd get it checked ASAP. Not worth messing around with stuff like that. Hope you're back to 100% soon. _________________ The Slider Project, LLC Support the cause! http://www.sliderproject.com/ Nak Since 19 May 2005 4305 Posts Camas Site Lackey CGKA Member Thu Oct 04, 12 4:59 pm     Thanks guys! It's not painful today, just swollen to double size still. Kinda tough to bend the finger it's so swollen. If I don't see more improvement I'll get it checked tomorrow... specialk Guest Thu Oct 04, 12 7:45 pm     Wth! I saw that dead fish...gross... Stop playing with dead things Mike! Let's cleave that bitch (the finger that is)!!! Nak Since 19 May 2005 4305 Posts Camas Site Lackey CGKA Member Thu Oct 04, 12 8:55 pm     I don't know, I'm thinking antibiotics before I cut the thing off. On the other hand, if it gets in the way of my next session... Bring your scalpel Kirsten! consumer Since 28 Nov 2010 406 Posts banned Obsessed Fri Oct 05, 12 11:27 am     make sure you wear your gopro if you decide to cut it off.        Northwest Kiteboarding -> Gorge / Portland / Oregon Coast All times are GMT - 8 Hours Page 1 of 1   Jump to: Select a forum Northwest Kiteboarding Discussion Forum----------------Gorge / Portland / Oregon CoastFor SaleLost & FoundIndustry SoapboxCGKA  You cannot post new topics in this forum You cannot reply to topics in this forum You cannot edit your posts in this forum You cannot delete your posts in this forum You cannot vote in polls in this forum You can attach files in this forum You can download files in this forum
