Terrifying Video Shows Cape Kitesurfer Being Launched Like A Catapult Into The Sky [Video]

The strong winds in Cape Town attract kiteboarders from around the world - but I doubt any of them expected this to happen

Remember back in the beginning of January when the South Easter was lank persistent and decided to have a holiday in Cape Town for about two weeks? Well the only people who seemed to be enjoying its presence were kiteboarders.

Over in Table View, one kiteboarder in particular got a pretty legit gust of wind of apparently around 51 knots (94 km/h). Check out the vid on Facebook, here
