night kiteboarding
I went out last night because it was a full moon for a lil midnight run that. I was out for a lil while and my friend got a few pictures of me. when I lost my board and i was body draging to get when somthin hit my legs i dunno what it was but it scarred the shit outta me. dunno if i ran into somthin or it was a shark or some animal but it was probbly the freakiest moment ive had in the ocean yet. mabey night kiteboarding isnt such a good idea?

Alot of sharks up your way, but it could of been a manatee. i was freediving out of st lucie 2 years ago, dropped down on a lemon shark to check it out (7-8 ft shark), half of her fin had been bitten off. I thought it was cool, but I couldn't keep from looking over my shoulder for the rest of the day.

The other case involved a newbie, cheaping out from pro lessons trying to teach himself how to kite just to the south off Hutchenson Island. Again, the bait were jumping (if you see this stop and think it over). Our fellow was spending a ton of time in the water trying to figure out how to waterstart. A shark, possibly another spinner or maybe even the same one (out of the thousands in a migration & years apart?), attacked the guy. He was injured but recovered at least physically. Emotionally he was through moving well inland away from any ocean or future prospects of kiting. His was the most serious shark attack on a kiter that I have heard about worldwide to date. Rule of thumb, the further north you go from Ft. Lauderdale, the more common tiburons become.

http://www.thekitehouse.com/gallery2...up&cat=0&pos=1 http://www.thekitehouse.com/gallery2...up&cat=0&pos=3 Using the moon really helps, looking in towards the beach gives you a clear field of sight, going out you have to reference something, as your sight perception is off. I would sugest going with someone, go where you know, and make sure you can get in. When riding with someone else, the water coming off board shows th most light, you can see the kite slightly, but the wake from the rider and white water is better. I do see alot o tarpon in key west and if i go on the other side, i for sure get company from under the sea. As i said, very good idea to really know the spot, condtions and whats feeding. Pics above where from the other night. |
