I saw it on WINK news and was completely taken back... still in shock at how fast that happened. He was naturally hanging on for dear life.

Wow, I hope that kiter pulls through. It's amazing that some people are willing to make a life or death decision, when the circumstances would lead one to believe that the only outcome is DEATH! How many guys rode today and were lucky enough to escape harm? I hope that many Florida kiters see this, and then think twice about going out. With kiters making these kinds of decisions, city/county officials can easily make their decision to ban the sport on the beaches. Let's live to kite another day. It's almost fall!!!

hurricane riding, the real deal
I saw on a later segment one kite flying loose through the air and another kiter trying to land his kite also get into trouble, surf and kiteboards were also according to the reporter blowing dangerously across the beach, he also commented that the authorities are getting concerned with these activities. As I said on kiteforum ,I really hope the guy that got lofted recovers completely but there are no excuses for anyone been out in those conditions, any look at a radar or sattelite image should have been warning enough, that and the fact that for at least the last 24hrs, there has been almost nonstop coverage of the storm on all local TV and radio stations.
