A few years back I was kiting with a massive storm front on the horizon. - black as.
Me and one other guy were out .
It was raining but the wind was good so we had some time before the storm reached us.
Yeah there was some lightning in the cloud!
Strange though, every time I left the water ( just popping off the chop as I cruised along) I would hear a sharp CRACK from behind me , under the board!!!
Took me awhile to work out what it was!
