This was during the winter of 2001/02. Chris and Neil were the first instructors on Fort Lauderdale kite beach.
Chris and Neil were so fanatic at kiting that they would only come in for a Pit Stop to replenish fluids

The guy flying away is Bruno and me holding on. He was on a 7m F-One STK or STW foil kite. Side shore winds and way too much to launch let alone ride that kite.
As we decided to bring the kite down, pulling the brake lines (rear), made the kite go through the power zone. Hence Bruno and I went for the ride downwind, straight through a kiteboard downwind from us (as seen on the video). Had a huge cut over my leg and arm from hitting it.

We had a great laugh about it, as you can see. There was definitely something wrong as you can hear Bruno squeal, being blown away if we didn't hold on to him.

The good old times ...
