Wow! That is unusual there.

Got stung about 4-5 years ago surf fishing in Torrey Pines, but they always had so much little shellfish in the surf, just assumed the 'rays were in the area feeding on them. Definitely saw many.

But, the launch is usually clear at La Jolla, and all you see are leopards down below.

Been stung by sculpins a couple of times, too. I'd say the pain from the 'ray was worse, both immediately and long term (at least 10 days).
What a relief it was to get my foot into hot water, though.
