Witnesses told deputies that it appeared Myers lost control of the kite and dragged him across the beach and onto the property at Costa Bravo Drive. Myers was no more than five or six feet off the ground when he hit a sliding glass door.
Officials said the wind was blowing up to 30 mph Monday.
Myers was airlifted to Jackson South Medical Center, where his condition has not been released.
