..and neat kitecam photo when I was kiting out the front of the caravan park .. light day .. about 12-15 knots...

I don't like kiting in front of denham, there is a lot of sharp shells there. we were 4 kiters, and all of us came back to the beach within an hour with cuts on our feet

The shark researcher was a Canadian guy, Aaron I think, who was doing his PhD on predator prey interactions between sharks and dugongs when I was running the ops at Monkey Mia. I used to give him a hand setting and pulling set lines he had for sharks, drop them in, wait 3 hours and go see what we had. He never missed with the majority being tigers and the odd bronzey. Best one we ever had was a 4m tiger, massive bloody thing, we had to get it up next to the boat which was a 4.5m centre consol, measure sex and tag it then cut the hook. Used to be a bit of fun until the sharks would go nuts then it was a case of just get the frikken gear off the boat and go round and do it again.
All good fun...just didn't want to end up in the water....
