Yes ..amazing fantastic .
Are people getting paid for putting these things on the news ?

Jeepers I must have been over hundreds all the time over the decade+ ...and sealions whales etc
Is this supposed to be a new thing?

Why am I not inspired by this anymore
Yawn

Surfing a different matter though just read up on today's one around Esperance..... Sadly ..Chesthigh water ??!...
.....RIP ...

Free footage. Scary sea monsters.

Fake news

Men dont wear helmets

Old farts just don't understand that it can bite a leg and arm off... in the morning young blokes are healed and good to go again..

I agree Timbo

I looked at the tracks when they tagged big GW sharks in Perth and each one went up in down the whole metro area like 50km a day EVERY DAY up n down. that's just 5 tagged outa how many..?
made me realise if you are kiting or windsurfing you have been over the top of the big ones again and again. Fallen off near one many times.
the media just wants to scare us and increasingly uses emotive crap language.
it's awful when somebody is taken but the media hype up is bloody disgusting. Vulture w^nkers

hi mark.

I have to say of all the many experienced windsurfers I have gone past out the back ..2km+ out etc (not your area)...
...that I am constantly impressed&amazed/gobsmacked with how they can just hang about in 20m deep water for five minutes(as they seem to fall off more often out the back on tacks ...no offence )...& ....seem to be okay about it.

I've actually many times hung around further out a bit doing a few more tacks on purpose watching them for minutes until I see them head back in

Not my cup of tea.

Think I've dropped a kite twice in 8years and one of them was because i went on someone else's 'judgement'..the other because I clipped it too low

I don't want to spend half an hour body dragging back in again in murky water that sucks No thanx

Sorry to all the surfers/divers/swimmers etc&wingers who fall off too and I wish U luck(Especially with the rise of sharks)
