An amazing video clip of thick mindedness and indifference to some basic properties of kiting. The guys kite stalled and fell below the bridge three times at least including one time to windward?! Would have been interesting if it had powered up and pulled him into the rail stunning, knocking him out or just pulling him over the side. Nice rocks in the shallows directly below the pier. Any guesses as to how easily two or even five guys hanging on to the rider might have been yanked into the rail or over the top by a good gust? Watching him being pulled into the rail on a board was intriguing too. Never know how hard you will hit. The pier and cliffs create disturbed air and rotor. How much, how bad, how far out, you just don't know until you're in it. Major gusts and lulls will come without much warning. Also, it changes with the wind. If you can't be smart, by all means be lucky! Trouble is, you can't count on luck but you can try to use common sense.
