Now theres an idea ..............SURVIVER MUD ISLAND ..................getting a bit sic of all the tropical island rain forests locations on the TV
Put em somewhere real to fight it out 
Ps wheres all the surf ...............laughed when your taking about 6 foot waves.... but.... i do no the answer ....
The surfs on the otherside of the island
6foot mud crabs 
of them
just to stir the boat - I put it to you all that no one can really kite safely in anything like true 40 knot winds... maybe low 30 knots... with the occassional 40 knot gust on a 5m kite....its not fun.
40 knots is something like 'near gale force wind'
We had a 115kg guy out in 40-45 true windspeed at inverloch. He was massively overpowered on a 7m and was being picked up in the air when he put the kite above him on jibes. He lasted 5 minutes before he called it a day.
Getting back to shore in 40knotts is one thing but do people realize what Port Phillip bay is like in that weather... ... especially in the middle of the bay ..conditions in the bay can change massively the swell and chop would make it near impossible.. by the sounds of it i wouldnt like to be on the Tasman in that weather.
