Makes me want to break into song.

Believe it or not,
I'm walking on air.
I never thought I could feel so free-.
Flying away on a wing and a prayer.
Who could it be?
Believe it or not it's just me.

Ummm dude...

Dumb - Kite surfing in winds that tear roofs off
Dumber - Not letting go the first time it throws you 20 feet in to the air
Dumberer - Not letting go the second time it throws you 200 feet across the street.

Follow-up

Apparently you can't just let go...you are strapped into a harness have to activate an emergency release. He's in critical condition. Ouch.

Awesome. Makes me think of:

Believe it or not,
George isn't at home.
Please leave a message at the beep...

Also, it's very easy to let go when you don't go kite boarding during a potential hurricane. But I guess that takes brains. Yummy, delicious brains.

Well at least the weather channel one explains why he didn't just let go after being slammed into the beach.

On another note yesterday I noticed CNN or someone being extremely over zealous on youtube with this one. ALL videos pertaining to it were taken down, it didn't matter where the source was from. One of the videos was just some guy talking about it, so um way to go youtube.
