My eventful experience was by the sandbar, when a friend's kite crashed in front of me and I yanked the bar the other way. I got tangled in a line and luckily broke through it when I got snatched forward about 30 feet. (Sorry, Chris B.) I did not get any cuts from the line because he had already released the kite. If he would have been trying to relaunch, I would have been in trouble, and most likely tangled in the kite itself. (Quick thinking and early reaction to the situation on Chris's part!)WHEEWW!
One thing I try to do on the water is point in my intended direction, either upwind, or down at the water to go downwind.
