That's Nuts , that guy is sooooooo lucky. He didn't hook back into his harness until he was like 30 feet up, if you watch closely he hooks back in just before an updraft takes him another 50 feet up, no way he would have been able to hold on.
He is lucky he was able to stay calm and keep the kite in control and fly himself away from the updraft.
Note to Self - Safety First - Check weather predictions and always keep an eye on the weather when out on the water. Things can change and happen very fast.

Hey guys,

Erik is a good friend of mine and was seriously lucky not to be killed. The only way he survived was by keeping a cool head. At the time he was serving on a nuclear submarine as an officer in the US Navy, they're kinda trained to keep a cool head and react calmly in stressful situations.

personally I would have **** my pants ..... a few times before hitting the ground. And Flake, are you nuts??? This is what got you into kiteboarding???

Kite safely boys and girls and have fun!

Darren
