Holy Cow Marty, lucky you didn't break your neck.

Nice one, glad you're ok, bet you're glad you unhooked just in time

Marty

We had out fair share of finding the sandbanks at Caloundra over the weekend!

Great shortened speed sailing but the shallows came up too quick and most of us found them!

Glad you were not hurt in the crash, looked sweet till then. Lucky man.

Thanks guys. Although today bad things have started happening to my foot............

So lucky you unhooked. Glad your OK. That could have been really nasty!

I did the exact same thing a few days ago. Just unhooked at the end of a speed run and bam! I cartwheeled in 6 inches of water, first impact was the side of my head and my neck made a horrible cracking sound then landed on my shoulder, finished in a sitting position. Thankfully all good after a day of headaches and dull pain. I'm going to be much more careful around shallow water. Thanks for the reminder.

Thanks guys. I've no idea as to what I hit. This was my back foot I had just removed from the rear strap to gybe so it wasn't the strap ejection that did it. Either it wacked the board, sail/mast or the ground once tumbling. Only the bridge of my foot hurt initially. Anyway enough rambling as it was more educational to say be careful out there.
Cheers
Marty
