What happened???
 
Okay. So I was having a great session at Matheson Hammock, and I see a kite far away from the launch. It was leading edge down and the kite was about a mile away from shore. So I decided to go check it out with my yellow yarga 13, and I couldnt see anyone around the kite. Maybe the person swam to shore. As soon as I tacked the other way around to shore, I immediatelyy see this guy with a red cabrinha bow to the kite as well.
The kite was with the Brazilian flag on it.
Anybody know anything about this?

Just curious here, What is your question? (What happened to the kite boarder? )

What happened to the kite?
Was it rigged? or was it a runaway from the launch?
After you saw the kiter w/the cabrinha (heading to the kite?) where did he go? Did he rescue anyone or the kite?
Where did he launch and land from?

Brazil flag on kite at Hammock
 
Thanks to all for the concern.
The kite @ Biscayne bay with the Brazil Flag was indeed mine.
My chiken loop broke when I was riding far way from Hammock. It was a tiresome swim back and it was getting dark and I know the sharks are out there. Anyways, thanks to the boat owner who rescued my kite, thanks to Andrew (the guy on the Cabrinha kite) who rescued my bar almost all the way to Hobby Beach.
I now have a kiteleash and learned a great deal from the episode.

Thanks,

Thiago
