I get really afraid of sharks when I'm thinking about it at home but when I'm out on the water I don't really give it much thought. I never cared about them when I was a kid in the water all summer long in HB but now that I'm older, and obviously have less to live for, I stress out on them. Funny how you're fearless when you're a kid.

Funny, its the exact opposite for me. Now that I'm older, I actually care a lot less. Probably because I have awesome life insurance and I know that if the tax man cashes in on me, he gives most of the proceeds to my wife. LOL

There has been great whites along the beach at Doheny's for awhile now. I used to see one there all the time, named him Bob. I'm not too concerned about it. Lately they have been more common, and they've been jumping out of the water by about six feet, real close too. That is a bit intimidating, but my worry is it landing on the kayak, not attacking me. Logically, if it was going to attack it had the opportunity already.

BTW, I disagree with their theory in the article.
