Maybe because of the Jetski link? Darwinism?

Just goes to show that jet skiers are morons.

I'll give credit where credit is due, the man deserves a medal.

I just hope that this will not result in lifeguards patrolling the shores in kites in the future!....eeeek! And all the boasting that will be going on amongst kiters.... it will cancel out all the injuries they have cause planing over the top of people.

Awesome effort! The Age article said he was a former Canadian Olympic rowing and windsurfing champion. Either way, cheers to the man.

Congrats to the guy.

About that time of evening I nearly run over a kitesurfer (missed by under 1m) who was sitting with just his head above water, a few hundered metres out from shore -> its hard looking into the sun at that time of day, so its very easy to miss seeing someone in distress.

Others were out too - one guy even broke his rather new boom, so had to swim in.


As to "where were all the windsurfers?" -> that area is used by swimmers, surf-lifesaving and beach vollyball; its generally frowned up to sail/kite/boat within a few hundred of the beach., so the locals usually sail quite far away from the pier.
