Hi, guys, me and my brother were just talking about kiters this afternoon while waiting for the wind, and we were talking about the reason why kiters help us windsurfers. We thought may be there not that bad after all. Please let me explain before you yell.. WHAT IS FLIPPER ON ABOUT??? When there's alot of kiters around well at least you know there is no sharks around. The reason why, when you rock up at your fav beach to catch the seabreeze, and your the first one to rig up and go for a sail, if there were sharks around, they would be the first ones eating by a shark in the light wind, that they have been kiting in. So next time you see that local guy joe who has been kiting in the morning at your local spot, say ''G' day mate'' cause he has done you a favour. He has checked out that spot before you even launch..
So when your driving along the coast to your fav spot next think about what Flipper said when you see all those bright colour kites flying all around in the clouds. It means jaws is not hungry..
do kites also scare off all the meteorites and UFOs??
sharks dont give a hoot about kites or windwhakers..
If there is anything that kiting can teach us, it's that a kiter's life is a precious, precious commodity. Just because they have chiseled abs and stunning features, it doesn't mean that they too can't not die in a freak gasoline fight accident.
Flipper for the nobel peace prize. Flipper brings peace to kiters and windsurfers. Hooray for flipper! Lets all hold hands and sing kumbaya!
Sharks are smart creatures.

I new you would turn up lotofwind and comment, you love thease type of posts. You know what lotofwind ya right again my son, they are smart creatures, you can teach sharks even tricks. I heard about one windsurfer in maui, that taught a pet shark to chase a kite surfer that he did not like, so the shark spooked him a little. dont know if it's true or not, but it was in the local paper on google..
You know sharks have better eye site than a human, google sharks
A shark knows the difference between a kiter and a windsurfer, but i think i read some where on google that sharks like to nibble on kiters most the time..
Maybe you could ask the shark at your local beach lotofwind why kiters are so tastey??
This may blow your theory flipper!!
shark attack on a windsurfer at gnaraloo in 2006.Light winds
Board was a starboard acid
I have seen that pic before and read the story, but the qustion I would really love to know?? was the shark attracted to the board because it was red? or was the shark just plain hungry? I read one of the local shark fisherman thinks it acted as a big lure.
Well lotofwind least you reply to my post. Gets abit boring over in the kite forums a son? your a good lad
Hey Laurie! Can we please keep lotofwind??? I think he has strayed and he came here to our forum, and we fed him, and now he keeps coming back for more. I don't think that the other kiters like him, and I think his own mother chased him out of her den because he smelt funny. Flip and I promise to feed him each day if you let us keep him, and we'll toilet train him and all, promise!!! We will try to teach him to windsurf too but first we have to get him to wake upright and that will be a bit of a task, but I have some ideas for that involving some meat on a string.
Whatt do you say Laurie???
