What are the most common injuries experienced in kite landboarding?

Dennie Roston

Oh boy, let me tell you about the most common injuries experienced in kite landboarding. You know that feeling of excitement when you're strapping on your landboard and your kite is catching the wind? Yeah, that feeling quickly turns into fear when you start flying off the ground and realize you don't have as much control as you thought.

One of the biggest injuries that people experience in kite landboarding is ankle sprains. This usually happens when you're trying to maneuver your board and the wind suddenly changes direction, causing you to lose balance and twist your ankle. Let me tell you, walking around with a sprained ankle is not a good look.

Another common injury is road rash. If you fall off the board (which, let's be honest, is bound to happen at some point), you're going to scrape up your skin on the pavement. It's not pretty. And let me tell you something, road rash does not look good on a beach day.

But it's not just physical injuries you have to worry about. You can also experience some serious embarrassment when you wipe out in front of a crowd of onlookers. Trust me, I've been there. Trying to play it cool while also trying to untangle yourself from your gear is no easy feat.

And of course, let's not forget about the potential for serious injuries like broken bones and concussions. It's important to always wear proper safety gear and to never push yourself past your limits.

But despite all the potential for injuries, kite landboarding is still an absolute blast. There's nothing quite like the feeling of zipping across the beach with the wind in your hair and your heart pumping. Just make sure you're prepared for anything. And by anything, I mean road rash, embarrassment, and maybe even a sprained ankle or two.
