Not sure whether any of the newer kiters would remember him but those who have been around for a while will probably have heard of Kinsley Wong from XtremeBigAir who was an avid kitesurfer and paraglider.

He had an accident back in 2010 which paralysed him from the neck down and he has been through extensive rehab trying to recover which has been an inspiration to watch. I saw a note on his Facebook page that he passed away yesterday.
