Same here DP. I did almost crap my pants a little when I saw the footage the first time. Still a lot of other things to worry more aboot than getting chomped on by a shark. Having said that I did get my kids out the water (nonchalantly) yesterday when a school of bait fish were jumpin' around us. Glad he's okay. I'll still paddle out. I hate yellow anyway.
Better be faster than a great white!lol Barry just got back from a week in PR. Had a free place to stay in Rincon. Had a good time but it was flat as could be. Driving was a blast. First day back at work blows!
when I say "blown out of proportion",im speaking of cnn,fox news,all the big media outlets,not the surf media.yes it was a heavy situation,too close for comfort as I like to put it,but im seeing interviews with mick,his mom,on cnn lol.even my boss said to me today u surf right,did u see this?yes who hasn't seen it. its like ok,u almost got into a serious car crash,are u never going to drive again?cars are a lot more likely to kill u than a shark lol.I had an suv one day on rt 35 going around the bend too fast and it hit where the dividers split and the suv did a cartwheel straight at me lol,one of the wheels flew off and almost went through my windshield.what did I do?i kept driving lol,and called 911.and my car had no power steering,so it was quite hard to swerve. but it is great that it should keep the surf lessons at bay.non surfers don't want to try surfing after seeing that. ps people,south Africa and the eastcoast are connected,same ocean atlantic.so yea id be scared if I was on the eastcoast.so nobody in jersey should surf tomorrow afternoon
Ok let's take this somewhere else.... Mick and Julian have shamed surfers everywhere by crying on the beach. This is going to endear parents to this whole surfing thing, "Oh what sensitive guys, I'd like Johnny to be like that." Here we go again a new Blue Crush rush of newcomers paddling out at the best jetty on your island. Man, you don't cry on TV. The adrenaline should have been pumping. Mick should have came to shore, on camera, chugged a beer and said, " Oi who's got PCP?" Florida guys are more macho than these pros. They don't even care aboot sharks. This would have shown a proper version of a "surfer" to the masses. Now we have these sensitive criers reppping surfers worldwide. And now we are sissies. And the renegade rebel further declines........
That's not true Riley. I have love in my heart for every single one of them. I would give them all money if they needed it to buy beer or herb. Then we could all hang out together and be one happy family! Smokin and jokin, pounding beers, oh I care Riley, I care...
Nah, not skeered, but I'd be lying if I said I don't think about it while i'm out there all by my lonesome, like this past weekend at New Smryna at sunrise. Still paddle out, as soon as I'm catching waves, I forget all about em. Sit in one place for a long time, the thoughts creep in... start paddling, reset the mind. But yeah, you can't be skeered SS, they can sense that sh*t.
I ain't scared when I'm in FLA either. I know it's sharky, but there's a big difference between getting nipped by a little shark and getting bit in half. If I was out alone in South Africa I'd sh!t in my suite.
When you surf in Davenport, CA or South Australia or especially South Africa you should just expect to get hassled by white guys. You are Rodney King. And the shark is the cop.
And most white shark attacks do not entail being bitten-in-half. They be stitch sharks just like Florida. Just bigger. Ok a lot more stitches, maybe some staples......... But Florida guys get Percocets. Northern Californians get Roxicodone or maybe even Opanas, after a morphine drip. Wow, what a bargain. Sign me up. I can see the headlines now, "Boogie Boarder purposely gets attacked by shark at Ano Nuevo in order to obtain prescription opioids." I got a special 4 mil covered in bologna and potato chips. Only losers get bitten-in-half.
Youtube comments... Daniel Mayo 21 hours ago Jesus was with him, the sharks were commanded to stop attacking. If he were dead, Which path did he follow. If you would have died, Did you choose Jesus and get baptized in his name. Or would you have chosen the world, and perish. This is my message to you. Do not be deceived The end could come suddenly, and you could die and perish. Think about it, because your life hangs in the balance. I know this message isn't popular, but please think about it.

Reply · Daniel Mayo 19 hours ago he is the author of salvation, Creator, ruler of the universe. and not the world alone but, the universe in whole. he is perfect and almighty to save. He is power alone. He is all good fruit. And Saves his children from the evil one, the children all over the world. Even Russia. Best of all, He is perfect Love. Reply · Dead1yCool 14 hours ago Jesus was gay. He never got married, no girlfriend, and he spent all day everyday with 12 dudes and rubbed their feet. He's also a zombie. If he came back from the dead then he was by definition the walking dead. I have no need in my life to worship a homosexual zombie. Reply ·2 Daniel Mayo 13 hours ago Chantley Mann he was not Gay, he was a perfect human that taught the disciples how to save desperate sinners. he even taught them the scriptures, or the perfect bible. He never had sex, or thought about loving another man. He even expelled the men having intercourse with another man in genesis, Corinthians 1 and 2, and made sure it stopped in everyone's lives. and to lust with one eye meant that eye being plucked out. But listen to this, for this is very important. He took the punishment on the cross for us and, took everyone's sins. For we could be set free from sin, for he himself was man made perfect flesh. Read more Reply · Daniel Mayo 13 hours ago +Dead1yCool Please remember this, love is most important in everyone's life, granted the holy ghost is pure love. And by trying to deceive people is a act of hate. I'm trying to help someone belong in pure perfect happiness and joy. But you Satan, Get out of him! And I sure hope you find your way some person.

Ah man this is out-of-hand.. A baby white got tangled in his "leg rope"(friggin Aussies). This does not make a legend. Some dude in LBI got hit by a juvenile white a few years ago. Actually bit. Where's his accolades? I mean is it really such a shock that a shark incident happened at J-Bay? And these guys are Aussie and should be somewhat used to the shark presence. Strad"bloke" or Strad"broke" Island is teaming with them. Kelly must be fuming......
