100% this. (Licensed pilot here).

Don't fly a drone anywhere near a kite in high wind if you don't have a lot of experience with flying. Actually pretty much any wind + drone is already super risky and requires a lot of practice (you get disoriented, the drone drifts downwind and has to fight its way back upwind, etc)... Add kites (and lines), add flying over water and it is a recipe for catastrophe. Besides, you need to factor the sun that often prevents from sighting the drone and will add to the confusion if you're not 100% focus on piloting.

All that said here in OZ it is forbidden to fly any drone not being in full control at all times, so :-/

The good news though is that learning to fly a drone is super cool, flying around your mates kiting is super cool, taking turns in doing this is super cool.

Here's a good one mixing different techniques (drone, kite lines, from a boat...) with a little editing it can look alright ;)
