kitesurfer death in California

An area with wind and objects on land? Yeah. Thing is, that's most kiting spots.
I wonder what the distance was from the rocks to where he was? I bet it was greater than the distance to our trucks at the skyway from where we launch. Just something to consider. It doesn't have to be the side of a cliff to kill you, it could be a little car or a tree.
This story could be from anywhere.
