Hear he/she sleeps at Woodies. Great sess. today.....warm and windy. Hats off to the guy in Bay1 on the Kima.......was so inspirational to watch talent.

Maybe our friend will try and pick off a seal at Woodies before it moves on. I hear they don't like it windy though

Hey Peeps,

There are a lot of Great Whites around in Perth waters at the moment. A lot of the divers in our spearfishing club have come across them over the last month or so.

Be careful!

Please explain....

Kima is a dedicated wave kite, last kite you would expect to see at woodies.

Oh the topic is great whites, well some surfers have been visited down secret harbour lately as well. I guess like Dazz say's they are everywhere at the moment.

Oh, OK I stand corrected, only kiting I ever seen there was flat water.

Just read about the shark attack today at wedge. I'm not going to get on my high horse again about sharks, but I did tell you all about 2 years ago in the surfing forum. Unfortunately I got shot down in flames, still haven't recovered from that torching, emotionally scared by the sea breeze goody two shoes forever so I 'll keep my opinions to myself. But I did tell ya's so.

that time of year alright- one of the boys at scarborough yesterday said something big cruised under his board , twice!- about 3-4m long and he was only about 150m offshore. i doubt it could be anything else if it really was that big.

This is interesting:

At Margaret River, there's been one shark attack in the last three years.

At Margaret River main street, 70 people have been hit by cars in the last three years. (Source: margaret river council)

Make sure you get scared about the right things.

Could be the same one the fishermen saw cruising bay one at Woodies last Monday.
They said it was "big".
But considering what they catch down there anything that doesnt fit in a bucket would be 'big'

so was it a sunfish or not . this guy in a chopper surely he would be able to tell the difference between a 5m GW and a sunfish purely on girth .


A 5m white pointer would be one fat phucker

Hi Guys,

Sunfish are deep oceanic fish, it would be EXTREMELY rare to see one in shallow waters 150m off shore.

Sharks live in salt water, it's been scientifically proven!

Like Lozza says, perspective man!
