Here's a good example of a rescue: starts at 1:25

Careful where you drag the kite.. I rescued a kite once but when I got near the shore the bar got caught on the reef. Was overpowered so ended up kind of stretched between my kite and the one I was holding. Didn't want to let go of it as it would have probably smashed itself apart on the reef.
