Very glad to hear that he's recovering, and is only suffering from some burns over parts of his body.
Always try to know where the wind you want to play with is coming from, if it's a storm cell, consider this possibility.
Tide? What's a tide? Man, it's 1000 miles to any ocean.

Seems the son went to save the kite 1st!
Kai said he was helping his dad fasten his kiteboarding harness at Vilano Beach when lightning hit him.
"I just saw a big white flash, and then I looked over at my dad and I started screaming his name, and I started running after the kite,"

He wasn't kiting at the time though, was he?
Might only be burns, but his brain might be messed up  poor bugger!
Yeah... I got a kite. Or two...
