What this guy is doing: http://clive.smugmug.com/gallery/6907681_vJFuH#441993302_kNq7r is kite surfing; wid surfing involves a board with a sail attached to a mast and a fixed boom. Kite surfing in a big wind can get pretty scary. Your guide was right to keep you away from the Glacier face: http://www.abc.net.au/news/stories/2009/01/08/2462014.htm These guys: http://clive.smugmug.com/gallery/7297578_ft7KL#469261814_yWdQb look like they might be Hector's dolphins: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hector%27s_dolphin rare, interesting and found only in New Zealand waters. A pleasant trip and it looks like you had a good time. As Alistair and others pointed out, I'm very pleased that you missed the heat we've had recently.
