A friend of mine posted this on Facebook. Apparently a "newb" had a kite that was too large for his ability at Alameda Beach. The "newb" wouldn't listen to the experienced kiters about this....I'm not sure if anyone was hurt. I hope the only thing that hurts is the "newbs" ego.

Wow, Alameda can be a crowded beach with lots of non-kiters and a road running right next to it as you can see. I hope the idiot didn't hurt anyone and doesn't get kiting banned at the beach.

"Has anyone seen my kite?"

"Is it yellow?"
