Don't know where the Zoo is (except the one in South Perth), but man - how awesome are those photos? It's unreal how kitesurfers can get in a wave, yet (unlike a windsurfer) not run out of wind because of a wind shadow, and (unlike a surfer) have the power to pull out in front, and get wicked jumps on the way out!

Yeah,

there was a whole article about "The Zoo" near Margerets in an overseas mag about 3 or 4 months ago. (Sorry, can't remember which one).

Didn't give any hints as to where it was other than it was a big, nasty, close-out beachie.

Hit just about any beachie down south that faces directly West / Sou West in a 4 mtr swell and you will get waves like this its not that rare

The Zoo

Great for photo-sluts? undoubtedly
Big balls needed? definitely
Adenaline pumping? must be like Formula 1 without the safety barrier

Kite-SURFING? Probably not

I am too much of a ***** so I'll give it a miss.

We await the promised video footage Ryland [and you better have hit that lip].
