A mate of mine is a Geo and was working on Cockatoo or something. Reckons all they wanted to do was take him fishing. 2hrs later he was whinging about sore arms and being bored!Is kite surfing hard to learn?I body boarded during my early teenage years but cars and girls got in the way of that!

This is some of the biggest surf I've experienced (back in 2000)! Bigger sets were a good 5x head and heavy would be an understatement. This unknown dude got creamed, came in after this wave lol. Guys were towing into the bigger sets. Dave Macaulay was on a mal with a video camera mounted on the front and getting some decent tubes too!!

cplagz Member 19 Member For: 18y 7m 25d Posted 28/02/08 11:11 PM Posted 28/02/08 11:11 PM Ah, and a few sharks for extra measure.I haven't surfed up around Gnarloo/Exmouth yet, somewhere I want to get to.
