Landboarding ... note the Phantom :o

Take care out there! Expect the unexpected, prepare for the worst ... I know we're all safety conscious but sometimes there's just nothing you can do.

Terrible tragedy our thought go out to his family. Gusty winds can surprise even the most experianced.

Wow. What a tragedy. This is a risk we all assume when we hook into our kites, but it is extremely unfortunate that this ended in a fatality. And on Christmas Eve... :(

Winds are nuking outside. I think I'll sit this one out.
