I was wondering when I'd hear the outcome of the accident. I was on the water when it happened. Had no idea anything was wrong until I saw all the flashing lights at the Beach entrance. I asked someone what was going on as there was a bit of comotion and then I saw the guy face down on the ground 100 yards away with a few people looking after him. Then the helicopter emerged so we all had to land our kites immediately.

I didn't think conditions were too be bad to be honest on Sunday. I had much worse in Cape town last week when it was gusting from 25 - 35 knots.
There were a few gusts coming through but nothing major. I wouldn't of gone out in conditions like this a year ago, not for beginners anything above 25mph.

Oh yeah, im in the above photos as well, the one packing up his kite a 100 metres or so in front of the helicopter.

Well, Hope the guy has a speedy recovery.
