Rip. Be strong robbie.

Beautiful words for a beautiful lady HAAK

Otherwise the wife of "Puetz" - a well respected and liked voice on this forum

Michelle was very much one of the kiting community and contributed to it in a special way .

She was a kiting mother and wife who embraced the sport by talking it on - she faced her demons while learning with a determination I have rarely seen in anyone - it was not something which came easily to her.

But Michelle came out the other end from learning , passionate about the sport - sharing her stoke with her trademark smile and energetic support of her mates and her family
We also have all shed many a tear and more to come .

Our good friend Bobby ( Bali / Sanur ) said;
" Ketut ( from Putu's warung - passed away last month ) will be waiting for her "
It gives us great relief to know that a kindred spirit will be there for our good friend - where ever that is ....

I love the pictue of Michelle when she parked her kite at the top of the tower - a great story

All our thoughts are with Bomber and his family

We haven't met either Robbie but have pm'd you a few times, I'd like to send you my deepest sympathy & so sorry for your loss mate.

I'm sure the Darwin kiters will be pulling together in this time of great loss.

Well said Ian...

The Puetz's have been a major part of the Darwin scene since the early eighties.

First windsurfing and then kitesurfing right at the early beginnings of the sport in australia.

Always good vibes and happy friendly, helpful times shared with all.

We were blessed to have known her and will always remember her infectious smile and laughter.

RIP Michelle

Ditto HAAK,

a beautiful lady with an endless cheeky smile, a lasting memory from last year,





heartfelt condolances to Robbie and family,

Don't know either of you but puetz is someone I have enjoyed reading his comments on seabreeze. So sorry that your wife has passed away.

Really sad news, I had so many good times learning to kite with you guys and sharing a beer. My thoughts are with you and the kids Robbie. RIP Michelle.
