What's up with the shark attack posts?
Are you trying to help, scare folks out of the water, or just think its cool?

Of course, post what you want. But we all know sharks exist in the ocean. We all know attacks occur. Let that shit go, please. Mike

Now that I'm in the water more, I can't help but think about it all the time. I know they are there, and I get that "attacks" happen, but its part of the game.

They aren't called the Tax Man for no reason...

oooooh com'on!!!!

Don't tell me you've never slowed down to see an accident

Saying you never have is like saying you've never slowly paddled your way to spot where that guy just hooked up.

Hi, Jorge. I don't turn and stare, just hope no-one was hurt and want to get the hell past the traffic tie up and back to speed.

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.
