not only do we have to put up with Sea Lice (jet skis), wanker clubbies, wanker clubbies in condoms (rubber duckies), speed boats and other noisy useless water craft, now when I paddle I get FARKKKKEN drones overhead.
These nuisances sound like 10,000 mozzies on steroids and the operators think its funny to buzz around your head when you are paddling into the river mouth.
Not only that, the wanker clubbies want to use them to patrol beaches. FARKKKK off, perverts that's what I reckon. all the fat useless yellow and red wankers want to do is perv on boys and girls sunbaking with not much on.
Ban the noisy, useless, pestilent bastard things I reckon.
That's all I have to say about that.

Agree ET, drones overhead are not cool and actually illegal. From the CASA website:
- You must not fly over populous areas such as beaches, heavily populated parks, or sports ovals while they are in use.
- You must not fly closer than 30 metres to vehicles, boats, buildings or people.
and the place to report them is:https://www.casa.gov.au/webform/unsafe-drone-operations-complaint-form
That bloke that picked up a bunnings sausage sizzle with his drone copped a $4000 fine I believe
Go get them
You know the guys flying them can see you .? Invite them in closer with your rude finger
then wack them out of the sky with your paddle .
if you know the guys flying them its ok .and they give a copy of your session .but complete stranger..invading your private time ...it's worth getting pissed off.
Where were you surfing so I can start whacking a few with my paddle
Problem is finding the operator as they usually hide away from view.
ET its time to head over to the land of the frenchies, they are already solving this problem,
perhaps colas can send some of these birds over our way or we could get someone to train some wedge tailed eagles to take down drones over the beaches.

Love it. Only in France.
I think it's the department of agriculture or some similar government department started out with ten very expensive drones for land management and are down to one as the others were destroyed by eagles. They just don't like them .
Yes Pumpy I love France, there are lots of FRENCH girls there, boy are they gorgeous. Have you seen the pictures Colas posts.
I reckon anything that destroys a drone is worth its money. Noisy FARKKKKEN things.

Houps ! was so glad to learn piloting my drone to catch those fugitive moments of surfing...But to do that quietly just have to stand out of the nuisance of the power plant milling the energy going into your own key pad.
I hired a board at Rose Bay last weekend and someone from Oz sup hire had one out watching and filming the customers, me included. Really friggin annoying having it buzz around and in front of you without permission. One lady complained loudly when the guy had to save it from the water because it lost charge, I was tempted to wack it with the paddle but was no close enough, very slippery slope the hire guys are on if you don't ask permission to film!!!
I'd be happy to pay for someone to make paddles with anti-drone projectiles encased within.....
The damn things are a blight indeed. I tried to throw my paddle at one once, til I realised I needed to work on my javelin throwing and get a heavier paddle.
