I won't name any names, but I remember a time in October that a front came through, I did not have my kite up, but plenty of others did, and out of no where the wind spiked from 15-18 to like 30+.

Steve-O you may remember this, but a guy on a 16 switchblade 2 who had his leash hook-up for convenience got lofted and dragged onto the sandbar.

He was lucky that there were people there to assist. this is a good example of a close call where the exit ring would have made all the difference.
