Today I hit a puffer fish at about 25knots - little ba5tard threw me off the board. No damage to fin though. Select viper one, Puffer Fish nil.

Also just missed a turtle recently at speed by a b's dick - thank god.

Just want to know what other types of sea life has been road kill for us winsurferers?

You b@$t@rd, Sausage...oh that poor widdle fishie

I never hit any wildlife sailing in Sydney Harbour. Probably as fished-out, toxic etc.

i hit a pipe and fell off and i almost hit a shark

Following a mate last week, I yelled out to him and he looked around, just as he hit a bit of chop, splash....I had to dig the heels in and missed his mast by about 20-30cms! Guys on the beach thought that I'd ran over him.

Sailed past half a seal a couple of years back!

I went within a bees dick of hitting a black bull ray - about 6 foot across last week. Saw it at last moment and beared away. Would have been massive stack as that thing was huge. It was in a lake thats been closed for ten years, so needless to say I wasnt expecting any obstacles.

This time last year i almost kicked the bucket... when i hit one at speed; stopped me "dead".

Windjunky,
Great blogs.
BTW - do you ever get the wind forecast correct.

Dead sheep dumped off sheep ship in Middle East

A crab-pot ...twice.

Hit a massive bit of wood, appeared to be a telegraph pole or part of, in Botany bay - it was floating just below the water so I didn't see it and hit it a full speed. Catapulting as my board stopped dead in the water with a big bang was quite a shock, but it was a relief once I got back on board to find I'd hit something inanimate! This was in a southerly after a storm so I guess it had washed in from Kurnell from out to sea.

The fin stayed on but the fin box was no longer as firmly attached to the board as it should be!

nearly ran over into a baby whale at currumbin as it was surfacing, then got sprayed by it's blow hole. stinky poopoos but not as bad as cat breath

You clowns should try looking where you are going sometime.

mud, sand, rocks....(the bottom) and many jelly f@#kingfish !!

my dad hit a fridge about 5 or 6 years ago while sailing in karratha

Did he check to see what was in it? mmmmm, beer.

I hit an anchor line at VP couple of weeks ago, didn't register in time as it was a long way in front of the boat and it was just floating, stupidly thought that as the fin is raked a bit it would glide over it - it didn't, no damage to the board, the golf ball lump on leg slowly went down and the bruising which covered most of my shin has nearly vanished

Had a seagul get caught in the front of the rangie up at Noosa North Shore a few years ago - it took off and flew down low in front of the car but didn't come out the other side or behind as far as I could tell. Stopped had a look and it was caught between the steering protector and some other bit - it survived althought it wobbled down the beach a bit first
