Kite Surfer Rob Douglas' Record Breaking Wipeout -- The Damage

Looks like my ankle and leg. I fell on July 2 and had major surgery with a steel plate and eight screws installed in my leg and ankle on July 4. BADDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD deal. I wish him a smooth recovery. I have scars all over my leg and ankle and just learned how to walk again. Extremely hard recovery when it's a lower extremity according to my surgeon.

this surfer guy actually broke his wrist pleasuring himself..

hey JLS hope you get better and have a quick recovery.Anything low on the body has to handle all the weight of walking which puts unbelievable pressure on the bones,especially if you stumble..be careful

Big fans of Rob Douglas...We were lucky to watch him when he was practicing last summer on Sengekontacket Pond on Martha's Vineyard....He's amazing!!! Hope he recovers soon and is back out doing what he does best---breaking world records!!!

I kiteboard (kitesurf) and love the sport. Never kite without a helmet when jumps of 30-40+ feet are possible in moderate wind and wave conditions. This guy is a great rider, but where is the protective equipment? Do you see motorcross bike riders without wrist, chest, and helmets doing extreme tricks? No...and kiteboarding is as dangerous given the right conditions. People die doing this sport from accidents not just the shark bites. Wishing this guy a fast recovery, and next time wear some protective equipment.

speed wind skiffin isn`t surfing and the dangers are far greater that close to land.The surfers have more water as a buffer and the waves slow your speed by drag most all speed sports in non-protecting suitings lead to early retirement and disablements.YES he needs head gear and a suit which could give him greater speed plus a better place where the water is flater and the wind greater like the salt flats after the rain with a tail wind his speed is just the wind blowing and finding the right spot is everything

Never heard of him.
