Why they call it The Cut

2 Kiters playing in the bathtub at The Cut, no sharks in there

Because of the Great White sharks. fortunately, it seemed like they were eating their seal dinners somewhere else today. I didn't see too many fins anyway (none). I counted my toes before the session and after, and the number was the same. So I think I didn't lose any.

The Cut, Windsurfed, 15-25, S, 5.2/RW 85 & Acid94, with Gerry, Scott, Leif, Simon from Quebec, Des beach visit, others.

Excellent photo. I think that way partly because I haven't been to the cut. Most of the pics of kiters I see put up on the web don't excite me at all, though. I really see too many of them, both the kiters and their photos.

You see fins regularly up there? I've only seen one in my life" and it was a distinctly unenjoyable experience (ie scared me good!) How big are they?

By, "not too many", I meant none. Sorry, just bad sarcasm. This is where they were spotting Great Whites from boats and a helicopter a few months ago. They closed down beaches etc. If I saw a fin I'd be out of the weater before you could spit!

Great whites! Yow. I saw some of that footage. What do you suppose all those sharks were eating? It must have been Apocalypse Seal somewhere.

I think they're attracted to all the cute female windsurfers, surfers and kiters in chatham, but the burgeoning seal population could have something to do with it too.
