During the German National Championship and Kitesurf Trophy 2008 Joel, a junior freestyle rider, puts up a 9m kite and tests its power on the beach before he goes out for his first round. Suddenly an old man appears, grabs his bar and lines, and pulls it... the kite starts to loop, and Joel flys towards another rider (Holger) and breaks his upper arm in the shoulder area. He had to be taken immediately to the hospital and had a surgery in the evening. The old man ran away and disappeared in the crowd... they never got him!
