As a parent who loves to kite with his kids...... I just can't imagine this.....endangering a child.....and others......

It is obvious to me that they did not cover any safety training with the boy.......

To hook the boy in and then to hot launch that LEI on him......wow..... totally irresponsible......and stupid

I recently saw an instructor teaching a kid in Boracay. I can tell you that the instructor was having a hard time with that kid... the kid was not doing anything right. He crashed his kite into another kiters kite so that instructor had to run out in the water to assist the kid. The instructor took the kite and they went back to the beach where the instructor wanted to launch the kite while the kid was assisting by holding the kite. But the kid let go off the kite way to early before the instructor had done the thumb up sign... I remember the instructor yelling at the kid "are you crazy man!!!"
I had a good laugh
