Murphy's Law ! Unfortunately things do go wrong but I have learned my lesson....

Crazy how fast things can go wrong in wind sports. Heal quick, heal well.

THANKS...I am on a good way but it takes all my patience ....

I'm sorry this happened but I also very much appreciate the explanation. As a open water swim coach my training devoted a lot of time to risk assessments and action plans. Checking temp, wind and currents, hazards on entry and exit, etc.. and most important if available, checking with locals to gain their knowledge. Most of the time I'd never think about any of it, but the coaching responsibility changed my perspective. I can see it's equally important for wingfoil and and really all water sports. I hope you make a full recovery though I'm sure it'll take time.

Yeap, will take time for sure. I am usually a very careful person and aware of what's happening around me. But it just takes one small mistake and thing can go wrong. Glad I was wearing an impact vest and a decent helmet!!

Wishing you a speedy recovery….I’ve seen much worse kitemares. Relative to kiting, wing foiling is much safer. It’s always the gusty/fluky winds that get you.

Yeap, the gusts .... have to keep an eye on them. I agree with winging being safer and so far my own accident was the hardest I have witnessed.....

Thanks for sharing how several small errors led to an accident that could of easily led to much more serious injuries. l am new to foiling, their are so many hazards.

Jeap, but if you try to play it safe it's not so bad. I guess football is far more dangerous (-: ! Make sure to get a good helmet and an impact vest. That has saved me SOOOO MANY times !!

Thanks for sharing your story and wish you a speedy recovery

I had a poor experience on my first hang-glider flight at age 17. Initially, I climbed high but next the glider was diving toward the slope. I thought I would pull out without hitting the slope. I raised my landing gear (legs) to clear the ground. Shit was happening very fast. Unfortunately, my my butt impacted the frozen slope. I suffered a compression fracture of one of my lumbar vertebrae. You definitely had the right idea of wanting to roll as you impacted the ground! Fortunately, in my incident, there was no severed spinal cord but plenty of pain and suffering and hospital bills. Plus, there was an abundance of people telling me how foolish I was. I am rather proud that I eventually returned to my ambition to fly like a bird, but always with professional instruction when learning. I enjoyed many hours of safe flight. I like that saying "That which doesn't kill us makes us stronger." I wish you a complete recovery with no foot pain given some time.

THANKS! Crazy story! Good to hear that you are back on track and enjoying your sport again. I went through a similar injury like yours hitting ice during a snowboard crash at 80 km/h so I know exactly what you went through !!! VERY painfull! I was 16, still in school and was not able to sit for almost two weeks what made me standing in the back in the classroom (-: Like you said, things go wrong and fast....

holy sh!t dude!! that's crazy. I broke just one of my feet a few years ago, and I know how much that was disruptive to my life and my family, so I can only imagine how much more intense your experience has been. I'm glad you are healing. I'm glad you are getting back out there. sending good vibes and I wish you an awesome day bud. take care!

WOW! Hope your feet is all good again !? Yeap, it's hard but could have been so much worse and from what I saw in hospital, there are so many people with a much harder fate. So....more or less all good 😉

Thanks for bringing this critical point to the forefront. I hope you recover quickly.

I think every kiter might have heard some stories but unfortunately now I am the living proof that wingfoilers have to act with caution, too!

Thank you for vid, while aware of the dangers you vid is very helpful in putting all of it in the logical sequence, we often under adrenaline rush for the sess and just want to be out asap without thinking to slow down and assess conditions, esp when homies already out ripping 😊

What a horrible accident! Wishing you a good further recovery! Thanks for the heads-up, your story sounds familiar although I was never lifted by the wing. I like your storytelling, your great english pronunciation, even your face fits for vlogging :-D You can be proud of your many talents.

Thank you for some important information, it blows me away that a wing can pull you up like that!! Will be more careful in the future. I wish you the best recovery possible and happy that I did not get worse. Thanks to your tips I hope to get a wake thief cap 🧢 soon!

THANKS ! My weight is 63kg and I was using a 5m2 wing but I do believe that even heavier persons need to be careful

This is a crazy situation 30-35 knot for a 5m 😱 the forecast was wrong ? That sucks.

Forecast was less, this was the gust....

This would never happen to me. Not because I’m an expert, but because I weigh over 100kg.

sounds nasty. But technically you didn't break your feet wingfoiling, rather handling a new wing on land in a horrible gust, right? hope you'll be at 100% soon!

YEAP....you might be right (-: Still sucks

Jumping on concrete/stone with a wing is generally, even in light wings, considered: tarded It feels like your three mistakes are excuses trying to cover for that fact? Still don't wish anyone an injury obviously, so I wish you a good recovery

I guess you are right: It's never a good idea to jump on land. But I am not trying to cover anything. It's been a clear mistake but the fact that it ended in hospital came down to the factors I mentioned. But still, the key message is, NEVER JUMP ON LAND (-:
