				Hi Dangler,
 
Hope your foot's getting better.  Can't kite this winter because I just found out I have lymphoma.  Seems its a disease that healthy people get.  The Chemo sucks, but maybe in a few months it'll get better.  As soon as you can't get out in the water for a period of time, you miss it like crazy.  If everybody realized what a gift it is every time we're out on the water, I think most problems on the water would just disappear.  Enjoy every minute of it.

				Hang tough! went thru that myself last year (cancer) and looking forward to getting back on the water was a good motivation to endure the misery of treatment. Just like Lance, you can get back to it! Best wishes, Marc    |

Four surgeries and 120K later,  I'm not known to catch many kites there any more.

That indeed is one tact ,  however,  Perhaps not running in flip flops may pay larger dividends in life.         
 
 
cheers,
 
 
 The "distressed kiter"
 
 
 
ps.   btw,  the unintentional huck  was over the largest "Point Rock"  of which I cleared by 10-15 feet.   I also seem to recall sticking the landing toe side during that "duress" & "distress"     |
