A 28-year-old man died after a kite surfing accident at Topanga State Beach Monday at around 6:15 p.m., according to the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department.
Monday evening, a lifeguard was watching two kite surfers when one of them appeared to be struggling. The kite soon went into the water and then became airborne again a short time later, but the surfer could not be seen. The lifeguard paddled out to find the surfer face down in the water. He was brought to shore, where CPR was performed, then transported to the hospital where he was pronounced dead.
