Just wanted to share my kite story with everyone,
I was on the southern side of Currumbin this morning, perfect conditions, i was way out the back, on my way in, when a big fin popped out of the water right next to me. I thought the worst at first, only to realize it was a dolphin, no big deal.

Except when i did a bottom turn and started heading for the point, the Dolphin also did a turn and started following me, it followed me for more than 10 minutes. It was an amazing experience that i just wanted to share, anyone else had a simular thing happen?

Kite safe

I have a Dolphin jump out of the water about 10 feet in front of me. It was a overcast choppy day so I didn't see it until it left the water. Scared the poopies out of me, you don't realise how big they are until up close.

Hi Sid

Have bodysurfed with several pods of Dolphins up along the outside of South Straddie heaps of times.

Have been bodysurfing down the face of a wave with one big fella right beside me doing the same just looking at me.

Great Stuff.

How is the arm going. I thought you were sposed to be working today ?

Nature is the best.

I hate work sooo much it hurts. It's a perfect day for a kite.
Yet i sit in front of 4 screens looking at seabreeze, I can't help it, even know i have to stay here until middight.





Yeah Fitzy arm better, but no going toe side for a while, trying toe side natural is hard, but good practise.

windsurfing at jervis bay many years ago - a couple of times had a single dolphin ride underneath you popping up just in front - as is if you were a boat.
