Sharks Are Everywhere

The number of great white sharks off of the California coast is on the rise. I'm sure you've seen this viral video by now.

If you do encounter the Landlord, here's how to punch a shark. Or you might just try singing the Shark Song.

Or you could be like this dude in Florida, and just don't believe in sharks!

We have just had another fatal white pointer attack off the SW coast here. Check out Robin 'RamSnakes' blog.

I saw the sad news about the fatal shark attack in West Oz just after this posted. And last weekend a local kayaker had a close encounter with a great white. They are out there...

Dawn at the beach. Air almost 50 degrees, water slightly warmer. Full moon hanging over the ocean, sun rising from the hills. Swell gently lifting my surfboard a little closer to the sky as it passes by on its way to touch the beach. Icy water trickling down the front of my wetsuit. Feet going numb from the cold despite neoprene booties and thermal socks. Two dolphins in the lineup chase silver fish, who leap into the air in a swirling mass, sparkling in the first rays of the sun. Then "pwwwfff!" as another dolphin surfaces and exhales not a dozen feet from me, before gracefully sliding back under the water. What a great way to start the day!
