Re: Hitting a whale
Perhaps an idea for everyone to turn the other way when you see some sealife around you instead of slowing down and looking for it and then hitting it.. it might be "something" that can bite back.. I would turn around and get out of there asap..

Re: Hitting a whale
Couldn't he hear the humpback whale song? It was quite loud in the video... 
Also, his lines looked pretty worn. Probably from hitting seagulls...

Re: Hitting a whale
Don't let the environmental naazi"s see this. They will ban kiting forever. just ask the Maine lobster-men who just got shut down with zero evidence of incidents.
Of course the Senile POS in the WH had a lobster dinner days later.. lol

Re: Hitting a whale
that whale knew exactly what it was doing. Their senses are 100 times better than ours and it was no accident that the whale came up right there. It was trying to knock the kiter down, hit the target and almost succeeded.

apart from the seagulls part, i thought it was something more exotic like a pelican or albatross
