funny how people commenting about the incident refer to the Kiter as a "windsurfer"

I... really don't think the whale was too bothered.

Hey Chocko, makes me laugh the paranoid people about the whales at middleton and victor harbour. As you know, I am pretty old, 42 actually. Windsurfers have been sailing in the waters since the 80's and the whales I believe have returned regardless in greater numbers in recent years. People look through binoculars and think people are sailing too close but are unable to correctly determine the distance as its affected by the field of view.

Now anyone that sails up to one on a kite or a board is an idiot but the reality is that when its windy, they often sneak past and you can actually find yourself near one accidently.

Don't let that stop the do gooder getting on the high horse though!
