Gusty session on a FRESH 9m FX2!!

This was my first time riding the FX2 since I broke my ankle almost a year ago! Just after I returned home from surgery my 2022 gear order arrived and my Fresh FXs were sitting there waiting to be used... Finally I felt strong enough to take this awesome kite out for a session!

Unfortunately the wind was super gusty so I decided to focus on having as much fun as possible and see how my ankle was feeling! The reason I only started riding the FX2 now is the fact that it's a tricky kite which takes a lot of effort to guarentee a soft landing - which for my ankle is absoloutley crucial to ensure I keep healing as fast aas I have been over the last few months!

At this point in my recovery it's importat to still take it slow and although my ankle is feeling good I can't afford to have a heavy impact on my board which could hurt the awesome progress I've been making so far! Still lots of pain during and after kiting, but my Bio and Physio are happy and want me to keep kiting through the pain and after a good few months the pain will slowly fade away! It's still a pretty stark reminder of the risks of what I'm doing and it's going to take a while to get rid of the mental blocks I've come across with some tricks.

Looking forward to continuing to document my progress! See you in the next one
