White Shark off Santa Monica Coast

LOL Thanks for the advice! :p

Seriously, though, there are some people round these parts who go surfing pretty much every day of the year (they wear wetsuits that keep them warm), with the exception of right after it rains as polluted runoff contaminates the water, and those are the people who should be on the lookout for sharks.

Hah! You're forgetting there's always the possibility of a Sharknado!

Yes, I have read that Great White sharks like to eat seals and that a surfer paddling on a board looks much like an injured seal to a shark from below. :eek:

I believe it's the Australians that have the most common great white shark v human attacks, and they're still very very rare. I think humans killing sharks should be illegal: there's no reason for it.

I love to swim in the ocean so much--granted, it's usually the Gulf of Mexico or the Atlantic, but I don't worry about sharks and will gladly do the stingray shuffle but swim during their season too. There are tiger and bull sharks sometimes; I've never seen one in the wild. I've seen nurse sharks, but they're quiet and bottom feeding like rays.

Careful of this guy, though, even inlanders! ;)
