Hi kiter789.
You need to be kiting over here then. All the whales are starting to go past Perth on their way down south. If you kite offshore a little bit, you're bound to run into one.
One of my dive mates spent an hour diving with a mother and baby humpback a couple of weeks ago. He said the whales swam with him for 20-30 minutes and it was amazing. They decided to move on and get away from the whales and score some fish but the whales followed them and they ended up swimming with them again. They unloaded their guns and just swam around. He reckons it was one of the stand out experiences in his life, totally surreal. Reckoned they swan within a metre and the huge eye of the whale staring at him. I wished I was there.
I encountered three huge humpbacks up north last year in a tiny tinny (3.4m). They swam right under me and surfaced 30 feet away. Scared the heck out of me but was amazing. I felt so humble and insignificant. I can only imagine my mates feelings to be in the water with them.
Good winds,
If you kite over a whale and pull the move that Marine is doing that's called:
A WHALEY
Then accidentally land on its eye
WHALEY TO BLIND
Then Fall back onto Blowhole
WHALE TO BLIND WITH POP
A couple of years ago in Cape Town RSA I was kiting at table veiw when a whale surface about 10 meters in front of me. Seeing some thing the size of a bus coming out off the water made me almost crap myself. It was amazing the whale hung around for about half an hour and it had a calf with it. The place I have seen the most whales was at witsand on the Breeder river mouth in the eastern Cape. And it's is one of the best kiting location I have been to if you done worry about sharks
Maybe someone needs glasses, I don't think Marine looks like any man I've ever seen?
Cya and

I agree with Keilani! Just weird really. We all know marine is hot but to post SSSOOO many photo's of her is strange.
