This may have already gone up on the site. Wouldn't it be a big surprise if the kite wing tip got tangled in that erratic high gusty wind, disabled the depower and sent things firing off downwind at 50 kts. (about 85 Feet Per SECOND!) in a death spiral? No, it wouldn't be too surprising at all. If your kite does this during launch in high winds, don't.

Their sets sure are cleaner up that way. Take away the Bahamas and that is what happens. Still it's better with (actually in) the Bahamas!
