Unedited for dramatic effect.

Essentially, my chicken look - the main thing that connects to the kite, snapped and tore off. The only thing connected me to the kite was my last safety and me holding the bar in 20 knot winds. Not an easy task let me tell you.

I didn't realize what happened at first and tried to get the bar back to me to reattach the chicken loop to my hook, but when I got close enough that's when I realized.

Scary thing is, I was completely alone in a secluded part of the beach away from people and they couldn't even see my kite flapping around and going crazy.

I never felt like I was in danger, kept my board on me most of the time and even kept my gopro in the mouth.

Training is entirely necessary for this stuff otherwise it could go sideways quite fast.

so you weren't supposed to fly that high, right? glad you weren't hurt!

The last jump wasn't even high. It's just old gear is all.
