Bloody hell!!
And Im scared of dolphins!

Hei, guys, we've been really bad.
Stop doing this, it is no nice!
Kim, the sea will always have all kind of creatures. It is natural.
As long as you are not bothering them, they will not bother you, so go there, enjoy kitesurfing, and have a great time.

Cheers

lol

im still going just so you all know! im not scared anymore i can do this!

you guys are just so wonderful, supportive and so informative its fantastic to see

nick... port hedland hmmm... well steve has got his sailing comp on all weekend and my parents asked if i wanted to join them... i do nothing all day long as it is so couldnt think of anyting worse than going on a little holiday to do nothing... so am going to kite... i didnt actually pick the place lol... and a friend owns this mysterious beach house in port hedland ??? so may as well check it out... i bet it is completely non kitable and i have been misinformed about the 'beach' but i will find out tomorrow... will let you all know

if kiting is crap is there anything else to do there??

what has happened?

it would definately have been more fun to go wih other kiters, then the chances of me being the one that gets atatcked would be reduced...
but never mind i just hope hope i live to tell the tale ... if it is going to be an arm or leg please let it be the left one!
lol

poor you
sounds painful
well i hope you have super quick recovery and let us know when you are back in town
and hopefully we will have a full day of kiting not a full day of waiting for wind he he

Hey,

There is always windy there, and the wind has a daily pattern going around 240 deg over 18 20 hours, so you'l always fingd a good spot to kitesurf.
There should be some locals there.
So cheer up an hope.
I wish you good luck and good winds.

Be cautious of your surroundings and go for it !!!! Life is too short!!!!

200-300m away... ' will never make it! ...

I heard a story just the other day about a professional fisherman who was bitten by a Blue Ring octopus. His shipmates knew what would happen next. Within minutes he had absolutely no ability to move his muscles or breath. They took it in turns to deliver mouth to mouth for a couple of hours until the boat got into harbour, not knowing whether he was conscious, alive still or going to make it. He was conscious the whole time and thinking to himself "keep going boys ... I'm still here ... just keep going".

I also heard the body can eventually metabolise the poison by itself obviously as long as the resus is continued.
pretty amazing stuff and useful to know, even better for your mates to know too!!
