Shark Attack

A surfer has been attacked and killed in a shark attack. The type of shark was unknown. Given that it was in California I am guessing it was probably either a GW or perhaps a Tiger. Despite what you see in the movies attacks are quite rare. Yes sometimes there is a spike like that happened at New Smyrna Beach a few years ago.

 

Oh my!
I never think of how bad it is in other countries.
That is sad news.

 

Play stupid games , win stupid prizes.Dress like a seal in a wet suit ,chances are you could be a taste test.

 

nothing ruins the ocean more for me than this*

It's my argument with eternity... I can't understand why... until I realize that the ocean is their home, not ours. They can leave us alone or choose to eat us when we go there, so I don't go.

 

hard to surf unless you go to the ocean but you always know what swims beneath.........

 

I can remember body surfing on a beach in Hawaii, coming out of the water to rest a bit and seeing a shark rolling over in a wave just about where I was previously surfing!! Never went back to that beach!!

 

It's just an unfortunate incident. And the reason I never go more then hip deep away from shore.

 

NorCal has some of the most magnificent surf spots in North America but the abundance of seals definitely brings great whites to the area.
