Seems that there is a bloke in the US of A by the name of Kanga*** who must be working on a top secret project to make things invisible. Seems to be working as the local population (shall we call him John Doe or Bil1 Kleen) absolutely refuse to believe that this Kanga*** fella exists and absolutely refuses to acknowlege any of the Kanga*** exploits. Anyway the project doesn't work down under and we see see you Kanga. The A KANGA PUB sounds like a pretty good speed spot if only we new its "official name". Keep up the nice speeds.
Damm, my cloak of invisibility slipped off and I've been sprung! Having a great time winding up the seppos, still got a few suprises in store. Thursday looks to be mega, had a sweet time today all by my lonesome at the AKangaPub, nobody to buy me a drink....bugger.
Kanga***
So how come they dont want to believe you are doing those speeds??
Professional jealousy??
An Aussie on their turf??
Give em' heaps.
All pretty much healed up thanks Dave.
There is a tiny bit of something hard at the edge of the cut which from reading what others guys said may be a bit of the spine on the fish's back. Funny, it was super sore for 3-4 days then stopped and healed quickly. Maybe just body's way of getting the crap out.
I reckon Ill swap the mysterious depths of Narrabeen for the sands of Kyeemagh this weekend. Seeya there??
Gee. I thought the cryptic nature of my post would keep everyone guessing as to the identity of kanga***
Na, on to it straight up frant, been on the GPS-SS site too
I've read a few posts from Seppo Kleen on other forums too, nuff said hey 
Pretty much the same as Firiebob. Once youve seen a few posts on GPSSS its not hard to figure it out. Kanga*** gets a few of them going for sure.
Rex, never mate, I couldnt leave God's country.
The posts on GPSSS keep me amused, it's like watching a train wreck...you cant look away. Amazes me some of the stuff he comes out with, seems I don't exist in his world for which I am truly thankful. Fortunately I found ARooBar last year otherwise I would be down there annoying all of you at Sandy Point and Perth and the seppos would have nobody to hate!
Keeps us all amused. I would love to rip in with a few inflammatory comments but out of respect of the GPSS forum just gotta sit back and laugh.
Now, now Frant...you can't go insulting me on a public forum like GPSSS, they've already sided with Kleen and censored me enough and removed my posts.
Went out in search of a new speed spot near Geelong today. Have had my eye on the Southern end of Swan Bay near Queenscliff for a while. Decided to name the spot AKangaPub. For a Google Earth screenshot look at www.seabreeze.com.au/gallery/gallery.asp?imageid=6496 AKangaPub should work at its best in a stinking North-North Westerly. Hopefully can get big TonyW out to set a 40 plus here, although even I am going to have a crack.
Watch out for the blue ringed buggers, looks like the sewage treatment plant. Grew up in Portarlington, know the area well, few big stingers in the bay from what I remember.
Just seen your post on GPSSS. The official name for the location is the Point Lonsdale Sewage Treatment plant, everyone must call it by this name. It's only fair to the locals who feaces flow into it. There is no such place as AKangaPub, you must not use this name. My parents crapped there back in the 80's, it has been flushed before, please use the correct name. The location must be named for the place you launch the turd from. I was hiding in the bushes taking a slash, you never did those speeds you posted, impossible to accelerate that fast through so much crap. You have to start from the dunny end of the course.
Mr Kleen
Afraid I have lost all respect for you Mr Rogers. Mr Kleen and myself, both anally retentive types for precision in all things and in what things are named in particular note that:- Everybody knows that Kean is spelt with an E as in Keane. If you don't even have the self respect to spell your own name correctly then how can you expect the respect of others.
This afternoon went out for an evening session on lake Connewarre. As this is such a vast expanse of navigable water I asked one of the locals what this place was called. "Front of Frants Place" of course, so henceforth the run shall be known as Front of Frants Place Run, Lake Connewarre, Shire of Bellarine Moolap Ward, Federal Electorate of Corio, in the State of Victoria. Australia.
To make sure that there can be no question that it was actually me posting the session I got a witness to watch me launch and retrieve, but you will have to accept a hoofprint in leau of a signature on the affadavit.

Waterboy. You cant ask me to consort with a kiter on a public forum, its just not on. But then Geelong might be different to other places cause I have never noted antagonism between kiters and windsurfers so happy to catch up with you. The Point Henry sign shows an exclusion zone for kiters only in the vicinity of Alcoa pier...no problem with that even on a windsurfer. The 5 knot limit within 200metres of shore is a Marine Board of Victoria regulation for ALL shorelines in Victoria and all watercraft. Parks Vic probably had to put it on the sign for this reason. It will all come down to policing and that is my concern. Some overzealos official or twisted member of the public might take it upon themselves to police the regulation given that there is a sign. Don't give them your GPS tracklog for fear of self incrimination. There is also an issue with parking access and barricades at Point Henry that the council has become quite defensive over. This might cause a bit of irritation when you find that you can't park up close at Point Henry on a busy day and now that all the beach users, including dog walkers are forced to park in specific parking bays, there is an accumulation of rubbish and dog crap where you are forced to rig.
Naming rights for speedruns... I think that we have to establish a convention similar to rockclimbing. The first person to do the route has naming rights. AKangaPub is the first posting on GPsss of this run thus claiming naming rights.
Cheers Frant
Actually, wasn't contending your naming rights; just wanted to go on record about having sampled the speed potential myself late last year, and to give you the heads up about some of the safety hazards I ran across there during my own explorations.
As for the name itself; might I suggest a quiet renaming? Just imagine if the Tonster, or perhaps even yourself breaks a record there and after triumphantly announcing your feat to the speedsailing world, they humbly inquire where said extraordinary event was achieved.
Your response; ... arrr.... ummm...yeah....AKangaPub.
If you're open to submissions for a new name; in deference to the injuries sustained by poor wee leg at this location, might I suggest a renaming to something along the lines of "Speedscars", or perhaps "Kiter's Folly"?
Alternatively, there's always the logical, accurate and entirely neutral "Swan Bay".
Regardless, you posted the first tracklog on the place, so it's up to you.
And what the heck happened to the wind forecast for Port Phillip today? Reckon the mob at Seabreeze and BOM have a sadistic sense of humour. Either that, or they know where I live and wanted to roll my house.
Pray for wind!!
Kleen here, We seen ya, no I mean we didn't actually see ya but we seen ya car so we know you were there, if ya know what I mean, cause we were not where we said we were cause we weren't allowed to use the correct name for where we were which is not where you said we were at is called. Anyway someone was smokin an it wasn't you, could have been me cause I'm not used to smokin and all us guys that were smokin had a nice communal stash and group hugs afterwards but now I'm confused cause if you post at the wrong place it doesn't count but if we post at the wrong place it does count. Ah what the heck lets all be good sports about this and just accept that you are invisible and dont count.
I wasn't there, I never saw myself, I looked in the mirror and there was nothing. I did see Mr Kleen, boy he is so fast I almost didn't see him. As I'm just a figment of my own imagination I think I'll go and sail with the fairies next time, the Speed bunnies are way too fast for me and I don't think I can handle getting smoked again.
I posted the lyrics to a classic 70's skyhooks track "ego" on the GPS Speedsurfing forum for your mate Roo wonder wether he will come up with a new title for the song
Grew up with the song mate, loved Shirl and the hooks! Doubt B. Kleen will get the significance of it.
