I want to surf near a channel that shark trackers frequently (every couple months) show great white traffic. the channel is deep, but the spot near the channel might be in their sight. Can anybody shed light on the following two questions? If great whites are in the vicinity, is it almost guaranteed they will attack someone in a lineup? or are they always frequenting the lineups and the attacks are accidents when they occasionally feed? If this is a foolish question, say so! but elaboration would be much appreciated.
100% of shark attacks happen when a shark bites a human. Of those instances, almost all involve the shark's mouth. Less than 100% of shark attacks occur in Kansas. Jesus survived 11 shark attacks in one session. Jesus is Sharkhunter. Where is your hello thread friend?
If you're not the chubbiest and slowest sea lion in the line up - I'd say you have pretty good odds of survival.
LOL I see your point... Well should be a blast shredding! If i lose a limb sure you'll hear about it on the news before I can tell you how it goes. Thanks!
Just keep an eye on the Ocearch site. If there is a white near the beach stay out. Once you see him swim further out you're safe.
yep, safe, and since all sharks are tagged at birth its a solid tool, just bring your smartphone to the lineup for the latest updates
sure is.. Now with a waterproof iphone I can track every white from the lineup. If one comes close I paddle down the beach. Haven't been bit once.
had all but completely convinced the wife to let me bring my board down to CC for a family vaca weekend Columbus day...just then Katherine beached herself right at Marconis, right where we were gonna be... i body surfed shorebreak for a few minutes that weekend, that's it but they're around....they're always around everywhere. an 18 fter was caught on vid from a ferry boat waaaay up in st croix river mouth couple years ago. i think they go there to lay eggs. so if they are way the he11 up there, they're all around you all the time.
As that oceanographer / shark expert from the Monterey Aquarium put it in the article in 'Surfer' (and I paraphrase): "You say you've never seen a great white in all of your time surfing? Ah, well, they've seen you many, many times." and this nug: "We think that whites may track seals by the odor from their urine. I'm an avid surfer. I stopped peeing in my wet suit(e) about 8 years ago while I'm in the ocean."
This post made me ponder, and attempt to use some critical thinking skills: Jesus = Sharkhunter Sharkhunter = Cybil Does that mean that Jesus = Cybil? Think about it. On another note, I was a little disappointed with the title of this tread...after the whole "Hands Up, Let's Loot" tread, I was expecting "Great White Idiosyncrasies" to deal more with mass murderers and pedophiles.
Here ya go KR...from the guy who 86'd Jeffrey Dahmer http://www.mirror.co.uk/news/world-news/why-killed-jeffrey-dahmer-prisoner-5600323?ICID=FB_mirror_main
I was gonna comment on this here tread but the question was so unbelievable I just didn't know where to start.
not a big deal. Just wear as much yellow as possible. would be a good idea to paint your board yellow too.
Man, ya gotta love the British tabloids. Every time I see one, I think to myself "Well maybe Fox News and the Huffington Post aren't nearly as bad as I thought".
