Looking at another member's comments/pics on a thread, I wonder if we can post some injury pics (not too graphic)
I haven't taken any of my w/surfing bruises/gashs, but my ankle still aches when a storm's-a-comin'
Yeah....that's a prem medallion!![]()
ive got one of a gash in my foot .
mite be a bit gnarly to put up tho
let me kno if u's all wanna see! ![]()
Sailhack my left foot looks very similar to yours at the moment after a windsurfing crash on Saturday. Stopped dead when I hit a sand bank and my back foot didn't come out of the strap.
Now on crutches and in heaps of pain and forecast for more wind this weekend![]()
u boys winging about ur pissy little ankle injuries.
try 3 busted ligaments in 1 knee, cartilage damage, partial tear of muscle in hip and minor anke strain in one hit.
had 1 operation already.
been lying on a couch for 2 months already.
in my next op (hopefully no more than 6 weeks away) they might have to steal bits from both of my hamstrings to graft into my knee.
i no longer have a right calf muscle; totally wasted away.
i lost my job coz i cant do manual labour.
i had just recovered from a broken ankle which i only found out i had done when i did my knee coz prior x rays didnt show up bone floating there. took me 6 months to walk it off. it looked like sailhaks at the time.
if i'm lucky i'll be back on the water this time next year.
you think that's bad i was doin a cut back with such power that my left leg just vaporised..
so you know what i did. i swam in hoped my way to the car. cut my spare mast down to size and put a hinge in it and went back out..
F n A
Not quite a severe injury but an annoying one.F$#%ing ulcer on the side of my foot.You know the ones ..they get rounder and deeper.
Any tips on how to get rid of them fast..Yeah i know stay out of the water...yeah right i'm a wind junkie it's just not possible![]()

Put Lanacane on it under a sticky plaster. Specially at night.
Available at most chemists.
It will come off when you sail but just put a new one on at night.

Bertie sounds like you have it bad. I have just been given a referral to have a bone scan to see if I have bone floating around as I still cant walk almost 2 weeks later and my X-rays were all clear too!
