He's had his op for his broken pelvis and should be back home now.. Get well Robby if you see this..

You can't stay young and fit for ever.. He's very lucky to have had a pretty much injury free career doing what he does..

I don't know if it was a kiteboard or a foil kiteboard. I do know that the foils can turn on you in an instant and give you a broken rib or cuts that require stitches. However he mentioned coming down hard so I'm thinking kiteboard. Either way a broken pelvis sounds extreamly painful. Surgery went well and he will heal faster than most being he is great shape.

It was a basic kite board, well a basic Naish kite board.
But nothing can keep him away from his Red Bull.
