One of the Darwin Kite Crew kids kiting, 11 years old on a 7m in 12 knots and was hit by a box jelly fish or also known as a sea wasp! His reaction is classic, check it out.
Edit by GalahOnTheBay: Warning - this one comes for a language warning for the kiddies, even if the kid in this clip could possibly out-swear the rest of us anyway!
Does he kiss his mother with that mouth? hahah!
Lot tougher about it than I would have been when I was 11...
gotta love that
makes me want to come home just to go for a kite!
you are prob getting more wind up there this time of year too
they say you cant realy claim a move untill you can do it with a box jelly fish wrapped around your legs
... the boys got hidden charms alright!!! I wonder what Tone thinks of the vid? Chip off the old block hey!!!!
cheers, Robbie
ps by the way, stingers can really really hurt!!!!!
awesome toxic mouth of youth syndrome, sounds like it hurt a fair bit though! LOL's
If that was really a box jelly, that lil fella is one tough dude!
The Irukandji seems to hurt already, altough being a lot less severe than the box jellyfish:
That one needs a language warning - none the less thanks for sharing
Tuff kid though, good on him.
Loved the relaunch fast forward bit - it gave me flashbacks to any other day you put your kite down in the surf: Pull this - nope. Try pulling that. Nope, Ok let's try pulling that first on again... 
shocking to see one so young so corrupted...[}:)]
personally , i blame his Mum
and Knut, yeah it was a box jelly, his 3rd... occupational hazard
btw,Puetz, he's spewin at u!!!
ps - that pom in the vid above is soft!
oh, and he's actually a very mild, well mannered kid (most of the time!)
im a windsurfer and the dangers of the jellyfish should be posted as a new topic on the shooting the breeze forums so surfers windsurfers etc are aware of it.
Been Zapped last summer twice near ankle and it was'nt a blubottle. Leg and groin pains and single small swelling . Young fella in vid did well.
Just watched those vids - so does that mean that the kid ended up in hospital in serious pain for days and days?
... yeah its good now and I went and jumped onto a f#@ken rock and slashed my foot, so now I'm off the water for at least 10 days. F F F F ####### C C C K 
hell no ^^^^ just shove some peroxide on it let it bubble and go for a kite repeat after kiting she will be sweet in 4 - 5 days . I know they should call me the foot cutter or goofey foot had so many cuts and i only found this to work . One catch though it can sting a little bit [}:)] but as they say harden the f up . You do what you got to do when the winds are up .
every time I step down it opens up, can't even run to the toilet in a hurry if I'm bustin for a pis$!! The last time I had a similar cut in my foot, I kept sailing (windsurfing back then), it took weeks to heal and bloody hurt every time I went out, turned me into a kook. I figured this time I'll listen to the missus and do it her way this time (she's a nurse), she promises I'll get back on the water sooner 
good on ya grommet, p-ss funny, i liked how you used your manners asking if someone could PLEASE help land your kite!! Very well raised , bravo!!
i was just watching this last night myself. also your two newer ones. Always good for a laugh.
