do you class a Great White as a fish?
If you do, then I've had experience.

If you don't, then I can't comment.

i got clobbered in the face by this massive fish.. was so fricken funny, i was laughing my head off lol

Laurie Byrne, who is a *** hot surf board shaper from Currawong, (nsw south coast) was surfing in Indo heaps of years ago and was hit whilst surfing a wave, The force, where it hit, was enough to paralyse his arm. He re learnt how to shape and now, quite a few WCT guys ride his boards. So, getting hit by a fish does happen. Getting struck by lightening would be higher!!!!!

used to get fish on the tramp all the time when sailing catarmarans...

have come close to taking out a pelican with my kite, scared the bejeezus out of it

once had a tiny fish get stuck in my t-shirt when surfing

When I was over teaching in Cape Verde/ Sal, heard of a windsurfer being impaled through the leg by one of the bigger species of flying fish there, called justly; exocets. Another guy had his rib broken by one. Amazing fish. They fly for up to 40metres or more. Good target practice.

yeah, try catching up to one...I was on a broad reach on my sailboard years ago and one popped out of the water in front of me on the same tack...it was flying down wind at around the same speed just above the nose of my board...your right..it flew for a good 40 or 50mtrs...probably thinking WTF is chasing me?

A mate of mine was kitting allong and a stingray jumped out of the water and barbed him in is upper thigh! It left a massive hole in is thigh that took for ever to heal. He is now known by some as "stingray dave" pretty funny! sorry Bigwave.

Hi Guys,

I got hit in the chest by one whilst ocean yacht racing many years ago in the night. I wondered WTF had hit me for a few seconds, til we noticed the fish flipping around the cockpit floor.

It was a common task to have to go around the deck in the morning and throw all the dead flying fish back overboard so they wouldn't foul sheet ropes and winches and become something to slip on.

Amazing fish!
