Chicken loop and safety leashes are pretty reliable these days!
No pack down and swim or just a release cause you didn't know how to? the wind was ****e anyways and sun was going down..
natural selection or stupid call?
Should ride Cabrinha's..........as it would have headed for the nearest tree......even if tree was upwind.
:)
Yeah, I decided to go out on my ski when I saw it drifting past from my house. I rang Water police [who told me afterwards that you got in on a paddle board] Actually thought it might have a body attached. No body thankfully when I got there [on sunset] but it had to be at least 3ks out.
Zappa Mate it was >3ks out!
I underestimated how far it was or I would have left it, body or no body. It was pitch black coming in on the beach and it made for some adrenaline rush in the surf zone. Anyway it's now all wrapped up and residing with water police North Fremantle. No reward necessary. Sorry about pulling off the strut rubbers to deflate but couldn't find a dump valve anywhere. I looked around the tips too because i have been told that those clever little bastards at North put them there, but could not see anything.
What were you doing so far out anyway ?
Is the water out there any different to that inshore?
I bet you feel like a dumb prick now!
First rule of kitesurfing -- never go out further than you want to swim back or one day you will regret it
Niall ,that's at least worth a sixpack for every 750m, ie a carton of beer,from the owner or your chosen poison!
top work!
