Hi All does anyone out there ever get sick after riding on the swan?
had a zap last sunday and woke up that night at three and had a big SPEW I would be interested to know of any other bad river water experiances I think I can see a pattern emerging I usually kite in the ocean but when its Very Big swell or strong winds I head to the river. have felt crook on several occasions after kiting at Leighton (near the river mouth) or on the river

sounds like it could be something to do with all them fish dying. Maybe not to kite in the river anymore. Sides bump and jump is where its at. Don't forget your wipes.

Captain we kite Botany Bay in Sydney not the cleanest place to kite.
After a session you can get out of the water smelling like a petrol refinery as we have the airport on one side and a refinery on the other.The water is that dirty you can never see the bottom probably a good thing, but in saying that never been sick from kiting in the Bay if anything its probably boosted the immune system as I rarely get sick anymore since I started kiting in the bay.

i was pumping up whilst a news crew was behind me filming 4 a story on polutants in the river and the health risks of swiming there. often get a sore throught after spending a lot of time in the river though-the water is seawater of late anyway with the lack of rain we have had yet ofcourse u would have bn going after rain when its advised you dont
SO DO NOT GO TO PELI POINT OK, ITS POISONOUS that should cut it down to numbers below 25
