Was there a bit in 'the filthy west' kitesurfing movie where a whale jumps out of the water in the sunset where there's a kitesurfer and a windsurfer in the frame too?

Did i just imagine that?

What minute mark is it?

Popular sight along our coast
I'm not a gambling man but I'd put money on seeing a fair few whales out the back of the bombie or graveyards in the coming months, I've kited a few times and had them really close you're just got to hope and time it right

Wouldn't be right if they didn't get bogged at port Gregory and lucky bay

You must be sitting on a tractor Matt to watch a 50 or so minute clip! I got bored after 2 minutes. How far in is the bogged at port Gregory bit and do they hit up Horrocks?

Saw a large humpie do a big breach off Horrocks yesterday Mick like this. Too slow with the camera though.

You see the young ones breaching a lot but in my experience it's quite rare to see a mature whale do a full out of the water breach. They do a lot more tail and flipper splashing.

That's an unreal photo, can see why your mate was freaked out, if that sucker landed on your boat would be ugly!
