According to one of the staff of the Brighton Baths cafe/restaurant a kiter was lofted from the beach across Beach Road into the houses beyond - the incident is reputed to have taken place approximately three weeks ago.

While this may be possible during one of the Westerly squalls (and even then clearing the powerlines etc etc is a major feat however involuntary) we have no other information at hand.

So, with no other information available and we are wondering how much truth there is in this report - not whether it happened but whether a kiter was involved or just a kite.

Unfortunately the staff member concerned was on leave when we tried to get more information so if anyone has substantiated (first-hand) information or can point us inthe right direction to some please let us know!!!!!!

Sorry for my late reply the rumours are true i didn't really plan on making it all the way to moorabbin airport on my kite but as i left the water on that wonderful day i notice i'd jumped higher and further then any mear mortal had ever gone. Just for the record :TDC (total distance coverd) 13.9 km
: Average height 597 feet or roughly 200 metre
: Tricks performed, 87 handel passes, 49 backrolls, 67 front rolls, 45 deadmen and 178 board offs a new record.

I'd like to thank my sponsers "kittins Frankstone", centrelink , and KFC for all your support. Due to the privacy act all footage, pictures,
and autographs, have been obtained by Rex Hunts fishing adventures due to air some time in the near future. Thanks again see you on the water! yoooobidddy yoooobuttter thats all folks.

Mate, i'd keep your head down. Your sponsors arent gonna be hapy with your performance when they realise how much of a shurker you are . .

distance travelled 13.9 km / 426 total number of tricks = 1 trick every 32.6 metres!

Thats pretty lazy performance murf, nothing to be proud of (this is assuming all tricks are individual when no doubt some of them were combined).
What were you doing between tricks man - having lunch or something ?
