I was flying a kite on a wide open beach the other day. With the constant sea-to-land wind it was a piece of cake, once the kite was above 20ft it just stayed up.
However the next day, somehow the airflow was much more turbulent. I would get the kite a good 100 ft up and still, suddenly a particular vortex would flip it upside down and slam it into the ground. Made me think exactly about this kind of activity and how risky it must be.
