Two college students think it will be fun to climb inside giant helium balloon...

I knew EXACTLY what you were talking about before I even read the article.

*SMH*

*I apologize in advance for this post, but I can't help it, it needs to be said*

There's two people that the gene pool will not be sad to lose.

^^^^^

That was my first thought.

Clearly, the dived into the shallow end.

Who the he** kite surfs during a tropical storm??? This just happened yesterday

Well, in Calif. when the storms come, surfers all head out to the beaches. But this guy...I can't figure out why he wouldn't just let go of the kite, especially once he crashed into the beach.

The pop-up commentary said he was in a harness attached to the kite. Some of the comments below the video are brutal! (I know it's mean, but the one that reads like an ad for a "slightly used" kite made me LOL)

Yes, I've seen them do that (I'm in San Francisco) but we're talking the difference between strong winds and hurricane gale force winds. Big difference.

There's also a difference between surfing and kite boarding. My son went surfing in Florida yesterday and is going again today. Many surfers go out before the hurricane comes (not during it) because the waves are better.

Kite boarding during a tropical storm/hurricane is not a bright idea.;)

Thank you:)

That wouldn't be a Darwin Award nominee though, right? It's just an Honorable Mention if you don't kick the bucket.
