HONOLULU -Many kite surfers live to ride but, in a dramatic twist of fate, it is a kite surfing ride that saves the life of a man found unconscious in the middle of Kailua Bay.

When the wind's up, kite surfers converge on Kailua Beach. Monday afternoon 6/25, Sammie Perez Hults was one of those who launched his kite in the blustery conditions.
His ride around the bay then took a detour when he noticed a kite floundering on the water, while its rider lay motionless -- hundreds of yards offshore.

"I saw him floating upside down and thought maybe he was taking a rest. One second passed then two, and I realized he was not coming up," said Samuel Perez Hults, a Kailua kite surfer.

"Im able to get pretty much all of life's lessons out of it"

Kelly Slater, describing the era in surfing that he grew up in and how it differs from today's generations. He shares his personal thoughts on what surfing has taught him as an individual.

Kelly is so interesting because he is so varied in his approach to his life and his surfing and rather than being fatigued and consumed by his passion he has been clever enough to find ways of putting it to use it in other aspects of his life. His philosophy may not be to everyone's taste but it works for him and in the end that is all that really matters.
