what's the most unusual bit of wildlife you've hit / near missed while windsurfing? i've gone close to a few penguins, and sliced a few jellyfish, that's about it.
I nearly hit a Caraboa or Water Buffalo.
They sit in the shallow water with just their nostrals out for breathing and their horns level with the surface so you can't see them.
When you spook them they are real scary because you don't know which way they're going to run and they weigh about 2 tonnes.
They don't like being a gybe marker either!
