Megga thanks to the kiter (jason??) who dragged me back to the beach.
And to Nils and his dad, and the others for pulling my gear off buckets (lucky it was super high tide, not a scratch!!)

Looks like the Ankle isn't broken but my right MCL is torn. Off to get an MRI now.
Looks like 6 weeks in a brace, 2 on crutches then all winter rehab :(
Anyhow will find out more soon but hopefully the rest of my knackered knee is ok.

When people complain about my loose straps, this is the reason I give for them being that way.

Buckets is such a fun place to exit. Very lucky with the tide. Seen many get very unstuck an pretty hurt. Same with there gear. Not a nice place to be when swell is cranking. It was so much better before the cut went in. All part of gearies i suppose. Hope your recovery is speddy. think it could be a good summer?

moments leading up to the double spin cycle was one of the best tweaky aerial/floaters into a decent sized wave shame about the ankle

Sorry to hear that Alex!
I hope it heals up really well so you can enjoy all that awesome wind we're going to have in spring and summer!
