Kitesurfer Saves Drowning Family
Monday, February 04, 2008Once again we hear about a kitesurfer rescuing swimmers in trouble. This is not the first time that someone from our sport has put themselves at risk to try and save swimmers who have been caught out, but this story is really incredible.
Much respect goes to Matty Kalajzich for putting himself on the line.

Wednesday, 29 December 2004
THE earthquake off Indonesia which caused destructive tsunamis throughout Asia on Sunday was felt locally when three people were swept into Geographe Bay on Monday as a result of tidal surges.
Graham Barrett and his sons Elliott, 8, and Reece Dorrington, 10, were swimming near the Geographe Bay Yacht Club about 10am when a rip sucked them more than 100 metres offshore.
