Does anyone know if it made the national news, like CNN or similar? I hope not, although I can't see the news passing this footage up.
No doubt it's gonna spread like a virus on YouTube. |

Yes, thats what a kitemare looks like. This one just happened to be caught on tape and is now circulating the globe on T.V. which is not good for us. Imagine what city officials are thinking, they are watching too...
Place that one at the Skyway and he would have been facing 70mph cars. No doubt about it. At East Beach,he would have been either into parked cars or into the mangroves. IRB? 2nd floor of a buliding. Think about where you ride and factor in the distance. It could happen to any one of us. Best of luck to the injured kiter. Be safe. |

Wow. very scary. I hope hes going to be OK. Anyone know if that 1st shot of a rider in the water was the same guy? He was on what looked like an old green Slingshot C-kite and surfboard.

If you watch closely you can see that the riders inital flight started way up wind he had tons of clear unobstructed beach down wind of him and he ate that distance up before you can say release. Try to picture this event in your mind happening at your local launch site. |
