Thanks for that JMS.. that's a better link.

I had a twig caught between the front and the back as I launched last week. I was just about to hit the safety and the things got flung out.

Wouldnt even consider heading out with a twig caught in the lines or bridles.

Bugger that, he's got a good sense of humor though

That's a classic story!

I don't understand the quote where it says "other kiters don't wear stinger suits." I'm not sure, if things have changed, but everyone used to wear one in the wet season when I lived there

Omg. I lived in Kununurra for several years and I am sure I would have been Sh1tting my pants in that situation.
But I must say first class reporting, story writing and yes Quickdraw he has a brilliant sense of humour. However crocs are particular what they will eat...rubber tyres - yes, outboard motors - yes, old boots - yes, but they would probably turn their nose up at a Scotsman. He was actually quite safe.
