Was out on the board yesterday in a stiff nor'westerly. It was great, on the foil most of the time, did about 20klms. Bounced off a lot of huge jelly blubbers which appeared in their thousands ealier this year but have thinned down now.
About a month ago one our guys smashed into something under water. He believes was a shark. It bent the 115cm alloy fuselage of his foil. And last Saturday he spotted a small hammerhead. But wait, there's more, yesterday another rider hit something very very hard, again, likely another a shark, which smashed his carbon fibre front wing and snapped its fuselage. On each of those occasions they would be travelling at about 15-20kts (28-37kph). Luckily they both escaped injury - don't know about the sharks.
