So here i was having a nice old kite'n session down at st kilda beach, the sun wash shining, girls running around in bikini's, there were cans & then i stood on this bloody thing tucked away in behind the pier near the shoreline
Well i couldn't get it out so an ambulanbce ride, few xrays, some anisetic & a big hard yank on this thing & out she came! All good now thou, settled down with a few johnnie walkers & pain killers, what an arvo it has been
I must also add, i have read the email about staying away from the pier, i was however a good 100m away from the area & this was right on the waters edge, could of happened to a non kiter

Thanks to the random kite'n blokes that carried me up onto the sand & grabbed my kite for me, saved me so much of a delema, cheers

Nice piercing man !
The joys of St Kilda Beach. Glass, cans, dead puffer fish, stepped on em all.
Only the topless parade at the Western end makes the walk of shame more bearable.
Hope they gave you a tetanus shot.
... and people think im a kook for wearing booties at St Kilda!
First few times i ever went kiting there i came back with shredded feet. That said i don't think booties would've done 3/5ths of SFA to stop that injury!
Heal quick Juggler.
Bare feet are a great way to pick up all the syringes that float up on the beach after the rains. 
Have fun at St Kilda!
Good winds,
lol, i rowed on the yarra the other day after some rain... wow, so much junk
and a random u tube link...
i have had a few close calls with broken bottles and needles my self and i have always wondered.
Is the St Kilda council liable for any damages done that are cause by this scummy beach?
For F@#%'s sake! Don't sue them!
You'll end up with "Beware, buried objects in the sand may cause you a ride in an ambulance" signs spaced 3 meters apart for the length of the beach. Then where will you launch your kite?
Everyone knows it's a hazard by the sounds of it so just be wary. We lost some school kids over here to a limestone cliff collapse and now you've got warning signs everywhere there's rock over head height.
Don't say you haven't been warned.
And, to Kitecrazzy, that's funny. Where is it? In the Swan?
nah i wouldn't bloody sue them! **** i know its a bad place to swim / kite
Next time back to brighton!!!!
Last time I took an ambulance, they sent me a bill for $632, minus $316 government something. And it took them all of 5 minutes to drive the 2.4km.
I wonder what they charge in the choppers?
I would have pulled the clip out myself, and put a Manuka honey bandage on.
Nasty stuff,
Got to say the amount of broken glass in and around the beaches is ridiculous.
What part of the equation don't bogan retards get?
This time of year gets me going a bit, nice normal family comes down to use the beach, looking like the brady bunch, with a bit of bogan , but they don't understand how a bin works, what the story?
Can we legally kill these people?, pretty sure the United Nations have given the ok.
The War on Bogans, it' could be won.
Cheers
Yeah thats my 3rd ambulance ride, one has been a chopper so i quite happily pay the $65 a year for coverage
I was down at brighton beach today for a swim / perv... wasn't bad actually but i'll tell ya what the amount of rubbish in the water!! Don't normally notice it as the wind has blown it all into other area's but today was the worst condition i've ever seen the bay water in 
The beaches have been putrid fromm all the rain, my kite is stained brown, from the last session, could not even face it christmas eve, full on Willy wonker crap. Water crissis what a joke, it's all going out to sea.
It's not the wind it's the tossas that don't put their rubbish in the bins in the burbs and wonder why the beach don't look so nice for the yongenns, better go home to the dirt farm.
