This dude obviously was. long way out, not even remotely onshore wind and by himself.
I was on a train yesterday about 10:30 heading past Leighton and saw some guy close to shore body dragging back towards his board. Probably the same guy kiting alone in an off shore wind.
I watched a guy with SB and SS Rally, may have been the same guy.......seemed competent..........but Leighton was not the place to be......and the weeds look nasty. I had a very crappy kite on 7m at Woodies. That kite is going back in the shed for months
Yeah he actually looked pretty good. Relaunched it and dropped it a few more times. He ended up kiting down past leighton an making it to the beach.
Looked like he even hit a lip Or two on his way in.
Still risk outweighed the reward I think
When we have the great summers that we do here in WA why risk doing stuff like that , on your own to make it worse , doesnt matter how good you are ....
It did look nice yes but common sense dictates otherwise ! .
I think you guys should mind your own bees wax and let the man/woman live there lives, we all have a right to make our own decisions!
Would have been awesome conditions, 20-30knots offshore, flat water.
Mental to go out without a jetski or something as backup though! if you can't make it back, and you miss rottnest, something will eat you for sure!
Maybe he was working on the container ship and was 5km upwind of his launch site off the top container?
Nah - it's all the selfish w@nkers that give kiting a bad name.. he is just shark bait.
