A very bad situation indeed: This from the Kitesurfing Forum-
"A kite surfer died after he hit the concrete at Redcliffe's Suttons Beach yesterday afternoon.
The 28-year-old Wynnum man was kite surfing on Suttons Beach when he was caught up in a gust of wind.
He then hit the concrete footpath and suffered head and chest injuries.
A Department of Community Safety spokeswoman said emergency services were called to the incident at 2.26pm and the man was taken to the Royal Brisbane and Women's Hospital in a critical condition.
A Queensland Police Service spokeswoman said the man died from his injuries late Sunday afternoon.

Apparently his name was Julian Hope. Our sincere condolences to his friends and family from the windsurfing community.
