The KiteSurfMagazine wrote a nice article about the Dutch Championships 2008! There is also a small interview with me, because of my 3rd place. I have placed a copy of the article, my interview is yellow-marked. Click for big!
Wednesday, I went out for a nice afternoon session. The forecast looked great, but when I arrived at the spot the wind was gone..
I pumped my 12 anyway, hoping for wind. I got lucky, because after a while the wind started to increase. I had enough pressure, and I was training all of my tricks. However, after a while I missed my KGB! I tried to save my neck by sticking my hand in the water, but it was really shallow and my hand got hurt pretty bad… At first I thougt I broke it, but I could still move my fingers so I thought it wasnt that bad. Unfortunately, the pain was a bit delayed because of the low temperature, and it started to hurt more and more. 2 friends of me helped me out by driving my car (and myself) home, to the hospital.
We had to wait pretty long at the hospital, but after an hour we got reinforced with a bag of potatoe-chips (thanks Floris 
) and right after that the nurse was ready to X-ray my hand. Luckily it was not broken, but the doctor said it was not so strange to think it was, because of the big swelling on my hand. I am happy it is just bruised, it hurts but I will probable be recovered before Sticked 2009 
*** Update ***
Allmost 1 week further, and I am still in pain. I can lift and hold light things now, and the swelling has disappeared, but it looks like I have a more serious contusion than I thought..
