Carn the Crocs

Kill every great white, bronze whaler, tiger shark there is and i wont blink and eye.

Those guys should be getting awards or something, $100 per head.

Agree Tobes, should we kill every human that drives a car or motor bike? every snake, spider, scorpion, centipede? Every box jelly fish, blue bottle, croc, blue ringed octopus, tiger, lion, hippo, elephant, jaguar, mountain lion, bulls, cows, horses, rhino, ape, etc, etc? What about ban swimming pools, rope should definitely be banned (don't want to hang ourselves)? That means we can't use lines to fly the kite? And seeing people drown in swimming pools, rivers, oceans, lakes and just about any body of water swimming is banned also.

So no kiting, no swimming, no sharks and no animal that poses a threat to humans. Now just have to kill off every man killing plant... Somebody grab the Raid. Actually that's been banned too!

This thread is such a waste, kiting rules, sharks rule the ocean. GET OVER IT! You are guaranteed to die if you put petrol in your car, let alone driving it or crossing the road.

WooHooo! Laurie your the Best!!!

Right on Dachopper. Now lets see if the stats start to become meaningful. What is the proportion of (surfers+windsurfer attacks)/(Total surfers+winders). What is the proportion of (swimmer attacks)/(total Swimmers). I'll bet that shows we are a 100 fold more at risk than a swimmer.

A guy got bumped by a small bull shark(1.5mtr)today at Dolls Point, Just at the main rock groyne I was scared at first but I went in anyway...I think...Im cured

No bumpies for me. I almost did poos but he said it was a small one. I did however not spend much time in the water body dragging...Ive learnt to be super quick into my footstraps and off I goes.

Its wierd never heard of anyone getting bumped at Dolls before. It did rain Sunday and Monday so the water was a little murky.

I did laff at a friend fanging downwind..then I stepped on a broken bottle.(Karma) No Cuts..I was very nimble. I wish the mofos wouldnt chuck busted beer bottles on the beach.

Seeking information about the Tiger Shark encounter at Noosa.
My understanding is that Josh - the owner of the Noosaville Kite Shop was kiting with a mate from the mouth of the Noosa River towards Tea Tree Bay when a drop in wind strength caused their kites to fall to the water. Allegedly during this time a Tiger Shark of large proportion circled them moving in closer on each completed circle. It was reported to me that if it was not for the intervention of some Lifesavers training on the beach, Noosa would no longer have the services of the Kite Shop owner.
Can anyone confirm the validity of this alleged encounter.

ps. UBER, I believe you are the resident SHARK HUNTER on the forum - are you able to shed any light on this issue.

awaiting with interest
many thanks

Found out some more details after talking to Josh.

The story is as you have stated Windchaser. However when the incident happened it was about 6.30-7.00pm It was pitch black! Northerly wind was about 25knts when they started kiting then they hit a wind shadow close to a cliff.

Josh's friend's lines got tangled in a bouy so they were floating around trying release the lines for a while

However they were about 100mt when the shark was actually sited. Josh said the shark's fin was about 50cm long(wonder how big the sucker was?Any marine biologists?). He claimed that he has been kiting there for 4 years and never had any problems with sharks before.

Josh said the Surf club were training on the beach and paddling out near them doing drills. So they were lucky to get picked up.

Moral to the story - Dont kite at dusk

Hey Surfnet,

I was up there recently. I kited up at Loders. It was high tide and my friend said there are chompers in the creek next to the Trailer Park?

It was high tide also, Hard to launch around there, Specially when there are kiddies and old ladies fishing.

Seems there are heaps of tigers sharks in the northern waters. Your water is about 3-4 degs warmer maybe thats why.

I also saw these big blue jelly fish washed up about 25-30cm diametre. Never seen a blue jelly fish before.

hows this for paranoia (if thats how it is spelt), 2 4m Great Whites were spotted off the beach where that Nick Peterson Guy was killed, West Beach, Adelaide and they stopped people from sailing and it even made the news.

Apparently the two whites were just playing around, on more serious news apparently a seal wandered up our local beach yesterday. Where there is seals, sharks follow.

Hi all,

About the kitesurfer in Seth Afrika that got attacked:

It Happened in Durban 2002(not sure where that is) Anyway he got bumped off his board and his board got chomped but not him. The Shark was a Mako.

More info if I can find it. Not sure if the dates are correct yet.

Cheers

WoW! Heaps of action in Port Lincoln. Is there something attracting them there? Seals, Fisherman? Interesting to see the movements of them.

I wish there was some info of the ones that travel around NSW,QLD.

Space Monkey you dont kite around there do u?

Good Work Peasoup!
