I have been wanting to try a long four hour stint at woodies for a while but havent as have heard of the nightmare car brake in situation there. However..was there the other week and was told by a past kiter that the theft culprits/kids on scooters with bag of screwdrivers etc..got a good bashing and arm broken about six weeks ago.

So i was wondering if there had been any incident in the last six weeks..if there has been or if you know of one ..please can you write it on here.thanks

Dont worry about it dude.

Leave nothing in the car, leave it open, if u have immobilizer/alarm they cant do anything.
Put car keys/phone in sealed bag, bury it

Have a worry free session

PS this is the kiss of death i know, but i have kited at Woodies for 5+years and no prob yet

I've been parking at the end carpark without incident for over 3 years. Bigger things to worry about I reckon.

Word is that a hairy fellow on two wheels is directly connected to a kiting nephew and the problem was explained. I cannot confirm but rumour is a scenario occurred involving a 'sitting duck' vehicle, binoculars, big bikes and some swift corrective actions were taken against their persons. Fremantle hospital have a record that matches this.

Iv been hearing a few nasty rumours. Im not sure escalating retaliation is really the solution. Its apparent we wont get any help from the police but its going to be a bitter pill if the 'wrong' person gets charged!

OK
its true well thats pretty good.woops

So does that mean they have stopped it now for a few weeks or are there others?
Can be pretty traumatic for the Britz camping german etc type kiters i've chatted with& for me serious organising with other kiters in a totally empty car just for peace of mind and an 'enjoyable day'

My windows could be smashed with a pineapple !!

thanks

There was one (or maybe more) hanging around Cockburn sound that spearos and linos have seen. Was kiting beach 1 the other day and a seal surfaced in front of me which gave me a bit of a scare.

It would appear the area is within a 4m Female GW's territory prob due to the Bull seal colony located nearby

No one has been taken yet a diver did have a nasty experience

I'd be more concerned with the land based ferals breaking into my car

I have seen one big fin years ago and heard 4-5 "big" shark sighting story's over last 10 years. Big Tigers caught regularly in Coogee bay, off the Jetty and from shore. I recon it's big Tigers not GW. Heaps of Sting Ray in the bay and Tigers love Ray's, I see them when diving under the jetty.

We should all get together and set a drum line off Woody's one night see what we get. I can get a boat for it. Beers on me - cheers.

Must have heard about 20-30 story's. I have put a motion active camera facing front and back to catch the little C*$@ts. I dare to try my car. Same goes for north Leightons. Cops will have your pics and DNA on record if it happens.

The GW sighting is great there was only three of us out on 28 knts last night.
Mind you my arse did start to twitch when I stacked it lost my board in very dark light and something started to tickle my legs, was weeds I think.
