week before xmas i broke a bone in my foot kiting and now i have a moonboot on for the next 6-8 weeks (depending if the specialist wants to opertate to remove the fragments)
so im after some ideas to help pass the time
im sure im not the first kiter to break a limb and be disabled for the summer
You could go to the beach, and pump up everyone elses kite for them, set them up, launch them, land them, pack them up. Man the BBQ, keep the esky cold and drive everyone elses car home for them.
Hey Leeds, I have just got back on the water after fracturing my fibula and spending 6 weeks wearing a moonboot.
I spent most of the time doing all of the things mentioned by the other guys ie local kite bitch, I was still down at my local nearly everyday and actually learned a lot by just watching the crew kiting. I normally spend all of my time on the water and didn't spend much time watching at all but it is amazing what you can pick up when you spend some time as a spectator.
I thought 6 weeks sounded like an eternity but the time seemed to go by pretty quick in the end and the renewed stoke and enthusiasm you get when you finally get back on the water is fantastic. 
i like all those ideas but i cant put any weight on my foot even with the moonboot on
so launching landing and pumping are out of the question
however my girlfriend and i will be going down to the beach as she is into photography and im sure i could work out how to use the video camera
what about when there is no wind, what is there to do
ive been playing guitar hero watching kiting DVD's and reading seabreeze forums but just wanted some ideas to help pass the time
and yes drinking like an alcoholic fish has been good
using crutches after a few beers is quite entertaining
