Hey gang, I'm in Hawaii, and know of another incident recently, a kiter in his early 50's who died on Kauai, reportedly of a heart attack, he came in over a reef in a sketchy area where he normally never would come in, I can only imagine the pain he was in, he made it to the beach, and died, the medics who ran the code on him had flat line all the way, no thanks to the long response time to a remote beach. I was checking out the young grommett surfers the other day, like me when I was a kid, they don't have the bucks for kiting, or a drivers license, they are future kiters, around here it seems like alot of the kiters are older folks who've been watermen all their lives and taken many major thrashings, so sad to die in the water, but I can't think of a better place, ......... well, maybe one.
Aloha from the islands.
