Holy Cow! I am glad you are ok. Great idea for the trip and bringing awareness to everyone. I went to Huntington Beach last week and saw all the oil rigs and it it certainly surprised me. Things like this change your life, be happy to be alive!!!

Crazy! If he was on an S.O.T. he woulda been S.O.L.

The shark showed pitty on that guy. He can count his blessings.

Amazing, glad this guy is ok. I appreciated his honesty, the story sounded like he was really, really, calm, until his admission to "screaming like a little girl" the whole time!

It seems like every reported attack on a yak involves RED. Usually its red Hobie's. Maybe this shark is trying to venture out and try new food.

I'm with Eric, for some reasons the color red seems to aggitate whales and sharks.Most non-fiction books I've read on ocean disasters,rescues at sea,and so on refer to the hull of the boats being red. People rescued at sea tell of their red hulled sailboats being battered for hours by whales. Just my deductions from my readings, no personal proof. Two things this guy did wrong,a) red colored hull,2) out near rigs on smooth calm morning where sharks like to roam....

Maybe the high-pitched screaming scared off the shark.
