one less dog walker and one less hungry shark.... this is the best news to kiting since it became the new golf. laurie sticky this please

Trouble is, it doesn't seem to be confined to any particular area.
This season it's everywhere.
My local surf beach has had one surfer attack, and my local kite spot has a tracked great white for the last 3 years.
What do you do? - You do want you want and let fate (within reason) sort the rest out.

Sad news for the dog owner but I am not surprised. There have always been sharks in Botany Bay but now that the council has taken one of our kite launching beaches without consultation and handed it over to dog owners there have been many more dogs in the water and, who would have thought it, dogs in the water attract sharks! Thanks Sutherland Shire Council, not only have you pissed off kiters by taking one of our few launching beaches at Kurnell you have also attracted sharks to one of the best kiting beaches in Sydney.
