I heard the body of a kayaker was fished out of the water at Williamstown, anyone know what happened?

he wasent fishing .. he had a helmet and lifejacket on not sure what else

Apparently pulled out of the water by the fire brigade, wearing a PFD and helmet, probably/possibly not a fisherman.

Very sad indeed.
Not on Vicpol yet.
Apparently he was off Jawbone Sanctuary.
But why got out today?
Predicated vs actual winds don't really point toward a pleasant paddle. Obviously.

kite surfer?

I spoke to the crew who pulled him out. Wetsuit pfd helmet. Most likely windsurfer or kite surfer. Some confusion whether Cops on scene mentioned either a kayak found in South Melb or a person missing from South Melb.

So wasnt reported as in trouble/missing, they just found a body?

Kid walking along the bike track found him. Don't know whether he had been reported missing or not.
