you have prob seen on the news, my mate got attacked by a bull shark under windang bridge while snorkelling. he's allright but it's still a little disturbing happening in the lake but it was bound to happen one day.
OK Rick - i launched at Blacksmiths today and turned to my kitebuddy and said -"just incase i get eaten by a shark, ive hidden my car key in the roofrack" as soon as i said it i knew i cursed myself! So i tacked out and entered the Swansea channel mouth ( Entrance to Lake Macquarie) and sure enough i fell off my board! I figured i better bodydrag to it ASAP as the tide was going out and it was feeling sharky! Well along comes a 3 meter shark and he does a big circle around me and im trying to stay calm , got to my board and of course i fumble like a goof because im s****tin myself , survived the encounter to have a beer and complain about my smelly wetsuit. dont want to do itagain!

R U serious or just taking the micky out of all the shark stuff going around ATM
I was in there by myself for the most part of 3 hours yesterday & 2 hours today (from 6pm). Didn't see any but there is a lot of rods hanging off the breakwall ATM I must admit when I fall off lately I am keen to get back on quickly

I read that again and I am still laughing thinking about you sh!ttin yourself
Was there at 3pm , on a lemon colored rhino, Greg was in the channel with me, I gave him the shark sign, and he waved back thinking i was waving at him?, Michelle was at Salts and a few other kiters were there that i dont know.It did happen! My legs were shaking for 10 mins. fight or flight ? i flew!
I'd be more worried about the white pointers up your way. how about the pic in the paper of the surf school in northern nsw with a great white 30 meters away from the students. The instructor copped some flack for not alerting the students, " I didn't alert them cause the great white was only cruising past, not behaving in an aggressive way" In my opinion he probably did the right thing.
