Yep, man down, not 100% confirmed who it was so won't say anything yet, but he suffered a broken femur! There is footage of someone being choppered out sometime yesterday....
Follow progress on the website herehttp://www.kitethereef.org/
This is the link to the kite tracker - location and speed etc (very similar the to Sydney to Hobart yacht race yacht tracker).
You can also see where the 'man down' stopped - and all of the others hung around (by their tracks)
The one that hasn't continued on is Alex Unsworth by the look of it.

Is there any videos or blogs from this trip as the website doesn't seem to offer much information?
