A kite surfer thought that it would be a good idea to hit the surf as Hurricane Matthew approaches the Florida coast.

The only problem, he may not have taken the wind gusts from the pending storm into consideration.

The surfer was taken straight up in the air and luckily right back down. This could have been a whole lot worse.

This video should be another reminder for all of us that when officials say to avoid certain areas/conditions, we should. This guy is lucky he wasn't seriously injured.
