A friend who is a regular at the Sherman Access said (in addition to Erik's
story) kiter was unconscious for 15 minutes.

My friend has had a kite come down on her rig when she was getting out of
the water. The kite's pannel exploded with a bang that was quite alarming.

She also said there are some (2 ish) "young girls" (probably means
20-somethings) who regularly (?!) get slammed into the bushes.

As I was pulling out saying good bye to a buddy parked near the bathroom at
Sherman Access. Out of the corner of my eye in my back window came a person
slammed directly down from the sky. He landed on the pavement behind my car
in the exiting lane, past the fee collection office, the other lane, the
reeds and weeds, the rock shore, somehow over all the rocks and flags on the
point. An ambulance was called- he didn't move.

Does anyone know what happened and what became of that guy?

On a different note;
It seems that the "if they are on a kite-they know what they are doing"
saying no longer holds true. They travel different than windsurfers, they
are going out in more wind, and they have a huge path that can easily fit
5-10 windsurfers.

Please be carefull out there.

The coast is going off!
