Probably noticed that I have not been on the forum in a while and the reason being in December while on vacation in Mexico I died. If you want to read more about it you can visit my Facebook page here
https://www.facebook.com/joe.sharron/po ... 9430363441 or for those not on Facebook you can go to
http://www.joesharronchallenge.com/
On the Facebook page you will find some amazing videos from Cape Town at KOTA from Lewis, Lenten and Nick.
I am on the road to recovery but unfortunately will not be kitesurfing for a long long time. I wish you all many amazing sessions and hope to join you in the future.
Cheers,
Joe

Hope you get better man
Remember, the doctors don't always know what's best. Keep on trying to move your limbs and don't ever give up.
I've heard a few stories of people with paralysis beat it because they kept moving as much as they could and would not quit trying.
Best...

Your positive attitude is an example for us all. Best wishes for recovery.As someone above said, miracles can happen...and let me add that if you work hard on them, i believe they can happen more often.

that sucks NHK. Like everyone else I'm hoping you recover and can kite again some day. I take it you never figured out what went wrong that day. Thanks for sharing.
