Doing a downwinder in the surf today

racing across a shallow sand bank

about to bounce over a small whitewash

and a stingray launches out of the water

And almost takes me out

was kiting in FIJI and was wondering why there was a massive rock in the middle of the ocean, then realised it was floating, thought it was rubbish. When i went and inspected realised it had flippers, was a massive sea turtle, was very cool.

Went for a bike ride, and a dog barked at me

I stood on a fish yesterday

Had a kangaroo swimming past me at my local a few years back.
Found him dead on the beach a couple of hours later.

Windsurfing Corro 2 years ago, nearly ran over a Dugong!

Every sunny day.... that damn kite shark appears!

That guy scares the **** out of me

found a blue tongue swimming out behind the breakers a few xmas ago

Dolphins are always floating around the bay in Lancelin, I've popped over one feeding in two feet of water on the back beach side, we were both very surprised. Seals are occasionally around as well, I played something resembling hide-n-seek with one once, I was doing short 20m tacks, he kept popping up behind me after I turned, I knew he was there but when I turned and looked at him he ducked under, I turned and we swapped places, it went on for about ten minutes. Clearly a game for both of us

Down winding through swanbourne and my eyes got poked out by 2 massive bazookas!

Had a decaying sheep's head caught in my lines once. Does that count?

Fkg Teuro's.
How tight was your sphincter?

I got followed for about 3-4k's across Warnbro Sound by a large tiger a couple of yrs ago. Had my heart racing - to say the least.

Not kiting but sailing, found a live cow that had been washed out of the Fitzroy river flailing about 5 miles offshore. Well it was alive till I tried to lash it to the side of the boat and take it to a nearby island, poor bugger drowned from exhaustion. Wasn't much call for steak on the good ship after that one, which seemed a waste considering what had just been delivered to us.

stepped on a sea urchin

Whales, dolphins (today, in fact), turtles, sharks (spooked one at Palm Beach 2 days ago), and plenty of kooks.

I was living in Darwin in the early eighties and was windsurfing out on Fanny Bay, good wind for up there of around 15 kts, and I hit what felt like a submerged log. The impact was enough to throw me off my board and I thought that I had knocked the fin off, so I turned the board over and luckily, it was OK. As I was doing this, I then saw what I had hit, and guess what? It was not a log, but a very pissed off 4 metre croc!! I did the fastest ever water start in history and sailed back in, and he followed me for a short time and then lost interest!
