couple of videos I saw online

Check this first one out.

Chris and Jay went spear fishing. They stuck the camera in the water just before getting off the kayak and found out what they filmed only at home... can you imagine the surprise?!?!
That confirms my theory that you see them or not, it doesn't make any difference. They're out there and they eat fish, not humans. Every attack on humans is an extremely low probability event (and it gets extremely pumped by the media when it happens). WAY more dangerous to drive a car on any street...


More Windsurfing Videos

This other one shows some amazing sailing by the duo Robby Swift and Jason Polakow.


What a surf session yesterday!
I knew a NNE swell was on the rise and hit the water at 7.30. I got out at noon after having caught an industrial quantity of beautiful glassy waves.
Could not jump in for a sunset sesh, because of inability of lifting my arms... not too bad, it was actually windy in the afternoon.
I just hope I can paddle this morning! It's 6.30am in fact, and I'm ready to go and squeeze in an early morning sesh before the most important game of the season starts at 9.30. I'll watch it at the Opana stadium together with a few fellow napolitans...

Oh yeah, one more thing. I took this photo from this aussie forum thread that Russ emailed me (thanks!). Fortunately, the kiter managed to stay up there and didn't get hurt.

You gotta love the internet. People believe whatever they're told or shown. The kite got wrapped up on the light pole but the person up there was just a good samaritan "monkey-man" that climbed the pole to cut the kite free. The kiter did not get pulled up to the top of the pole.

Ah, totally fell into that trap. But, as someone said, weirder things happened already...

The place where the kite is is Cottesloe in Western Australia!!!
I have been there 5years, and now I am in Cairo under a curfew....
