Until yesterday I had not seen a shark in over a month. I had just paddled back out after catching a wave and was sitting on my board. It was not not a Shamu style breech. It happened super fast and if it were not right next to me I would have dismissed it as a dolphin. I saw the head , mouth and teeth for just a split second. Only one other surfer was able to recognize it as a shark. Headed back out right now.
One really doesn't know what one would do in a specific case until he or she was in a position to actually do it. So me with a cup of coffee reading the Sunday paper could eaily say "chance of being bitten are a million or more to one so Sure let's go surfing to same beach again today, shark or no shark".
But in reality might not be so easy actually getting into the water. Just saying. :nono:
