Kiter Dies in FL after shark attack

[D_Clark]

A kiter died in Florida after a shark attack on the Atlantic coast. This story is on the national news and you can read the kiteforum thread here. http://www.kiteforum.com/viewtopic.php?f=1&t=2362704

Shark attacks are immensely rare, but the sharks are known to be close to shore along the coast as bait fish school. I don't think this guy was doing anything stupid, and he was a skilled kiter. It sounds like his number was up and he got bit.

My condolences to the family,
