[filed under Kites]Gusts
So, a few days ago, out kitesurfing at Marazion my brother got caught in a big gust. When it blew through there were only two of them out kitesurfing, Dan and some other guy .

Dan said that the gust lifted him pretty high for a long time before dumping him a couple of hundred meters up the beach. When he landed and hit his punch out system, he saw the other guy lying on the beach, semi consious, helmet off, kite depowered out on its leish. Dan ran over to grab his kite. The guys face was masked in blood.

Ouch....

Anyway, down at Marazion again yesterday and the rumour was, the guy'd snapped his pelvis and would be out of the water for a long time.

Double ouch....

So, question of the day was 'Is it gusty out there?'
