Your definitely safer from Sharks when it's blowing 35 than when its 15 Here's my reasoning: Less likely to drop kite as your probably not gonna be working on that handle pass you've been trying to nail for ages or whatever trick it was
Super quick relaunch
Ultimate looping power if you do see the shark first you could loop your way out of there ( or at least that's how it works in my imagination)
There are very few shark sightings and (maybe?) no shark attacks when the wind is over 35 knots ( mostly coz you can't see **** underwater and there are bugger all people in the water but still a valid point)
Had a good session pre-grand final with some mad pommy bastard. Got a shot of one of his lesser hangers as I was leaving. The big ones were 1.2-1.5x this. Bloody good fun, and also nice to not die.
