Today is April 7 2016 and I too was kiteboarding Kanaha Beach North shore Hawaii. Less than 4 hours after injesting a tad bit of Salt Water
I became ill as all hell. My stomach is out of whack and I feel like I have food poisoning. I know it's not food poisoning. Rain has been on and off the past few days. Your symptoms and mine are identical...
