The Chelsea Police have a orange Slingshot 13m kite that was found on Bonbeach with lines and bar Sunday morning, 20th Feb 2011. They believe it was spoted passing Fawkner Beacon Saturday by the Coast Guard. You can contact the Chelsea Police station for more details.

F%ck me, someone tried to ride a 13m fuel on saturday!!

I was well powered on my 7m at Brighton.

For it to be passing Fawkner on Saturday they'd have to have launched at Williamstown or Altona, somewhere blowing completely offshore, unless someone released it at Altona on Friday night when that storm came through...???

Might have happened early morning. People said the wind was a lot lighter.

Could also be a complete newbie launching in offshore conditions from someone in Altona/Williamstown, but I reckon it would have travelled faster the way the wind was blowing.

For us windsurfers we thought it was a bit big for winds we had over the weekend. I did tell the Police that it may have come from Altona when it was NorthWest on Saturday or even East on Friday. It was about 10:30am Sunday morning when it came in to Bonbeach.
