Hi there

I was one of the crew at Leighton yesterday that was swimming out to try and get the kite in question. We did think it unusual that the kite seem to just be drifting really slowly out to sea. My brother-in-law and I thought we might get to it, but the kite started to drift faster off the coast then we could swim! My only thought was if one of the guys at the main kiting spot in Leighton could try to go out for a long tack to get it, but I guess by that stage it was too far out to sea.

Did you guys end up calling 131444 and letting the police know that the kite was lost? This is just so if someone finds the kite, they don't lauch a huge search and rescue operation looking for a lost kiter.

Good luck in getting the kite back; sorry we couldn't get to it in time!

Hey guys I'm the sucker who lost the kite at leighton…it was last spotted 4 and a half nautical miles nw of north beach at midnight on Saturday. I've contacted anyone that has a remote chance of seeing it with no luck so far, I also went for a nice coastal drive up past ocean reef Sunday morning to chance my luck with no success. Cheers to the guys who swam out for it and also the guy that went out on the kite to make sure no-one was attached. And as for you Jess, you're one crazy girl, cheers for swimming out and giving it your best efforts love ya for it!……live and learn is all I can say guys live and learn

Yeah it was quite an intense fling….kinda like a bright star flying through the sky that only lasts a small amount of time…intense but there's always the everlasting memory of it floating off into the sunset……...
