That would be right Iam just about to go out ,should be right if I go south of Floreat as the wind should push the whale north towards scabs.He should be pretty full by now anyway.
WOW , just saw it on T.V .... to say it's large would be an understatement!! The thing is a F$%king MONSTER!!!!!!
He looks to be fairly attacking that feed, i would say with only a touch less enthusiasm than the Duke of dork at the local all you can eat buffet
you can bash your beloved WA fair up your arse with your half a year season, cold weather and those fekin things
kited City Beach to Brighton, beach inspector came down and told us wouldn't be wise to go out... we did any way. Found the tail end of the carcass at Brighton when we came in. Thing had huge teeth marks in it. Seriously next time I'm taking the advice. F%*K that.
Your not alone I was kiteing at Seperation Point Geraldton today, I spotted the biggest shape i have ever seen while kiteboarding or windsurfing ever.
I would estermate over 5m easy ,just cruising on the surface right in front of me
we have had 3 whale carcass washed up in the last 3 weeks.
Hi guys,
There are a few around. One of the spearfishermen in our freedive club was "bumped" by a great white out off Rotto whilst freedive spearing. It pushed him back to the boat with his spear in it's nose.
He promptly left the water and said it was longer than their 19 foot boat ![]()
Be careful!
Cheers,
KH
Another reason for me to go on the river today with it only being about a foot deep for the whole kite spot... Pretty sure he wont make it that far up the river-he's huge!
Yesterday I chose to do a downwinder from the Floz to B ton which is past the scene of the crime.
I thought I would mix it up and take by centre fin out of my board to make it a twin fin and take my straps off.
Well this caused me to be dangerous ! , that shark is lucky he did not run in to me as I could of taken him out.
I had a look at the photos. " Great white mauling a carcass".
Looked like it was eating the carcass, not mauling it. That is what sharks do they eat things, have been since long before we evolved.
When we need to be really concerned is when there are no sharks to maul the carcasses. When that happens we won't be in the water.
Fortunately it will not be in my time.
As the usual crew were leaving brighton at dusk last night who was that guy with a downed white C kite about 2 ks out from Contacios. Nobody should be out that late , that far out, with a kite he can't relaunch.....especially when some blokes with a JCB has just swiped dinner [the whale carcass] from the beach and a 4m white pointer is hunting around for an alternative meal ticket.
He got in.
I've seen him in the water and I just ran out of water.
After two weeks I'm still not brave enough to go back in the water.
It is so hard to explain it to him that I am dumb as a carrot and you are not a vegetarian!!
He was in Leighton and everyone thought he is a cute wale, yeah he is that big.
Yep, that was def a whale off Leighton.
Sharks don't flick their tails up and make water spouts from of their blowholes.
Plus the sharks stay away from Leighton cos its so close to the harbour ![]()
Big fat healthy creatures out there still![]()
I had a dolphin the size of a horse surface next to me on the river....if it wanted to, it could have taken me out for sure.
Saw a couple of crew self rescue waaay out from cott last night. Was thinking better you than me on that long, slow, body drag back to the beach...
