Sharks and you

Funny thing in your post. You start talking about being with girls in the line up, but then, when the shark shows up, you only talk about not leaving a man behind.....are you gay??

 

it all depends on the situation.but I can name 3 stories off the top of my head not even thinking, about pros abandoning others,its really survival and every man for themselves.its not even abandoning its just u cant get to them in time because theres a 40ft swell.

sharks are a bit different I guess than victory at sea conditions lol.if I was in the lineup and its crowded and a shark comes in just going to sit there and mind my own business.im sure there will be 10 other people kicking and splashing that will get the sharks attention.il just wait til a wave comes and ride it in.the 9 other guys can be the heros,not me..

theres probably less than 1% of the surfing population who would actually swim up to a shark attack.u know,saving a little kid from a rip or preventing a drowning is one thing but trying to go fight an apex predator,in liquid lol.thats like stumbling into mike Tysons house piss drunk trying to beat him up,it just aint gonna happen

 

Its been my experience that the more people talk about how often and cool they are for surfing the less likely they are to actually surf...Basically i don't believe a word you say.

Theres 2 types of surfers, those that do and those that do not.

 

I doubt you have ever even seen that

 

Hahaha you do see that 808 on my name yeah?? I live on the islands clown

 

I bet you live and post from Siuox City, Iowa.....

 

o Barry, he's not in Iowa. He's in Australia. He said so himself.

See, he even uses terms like "mate". That proves it. Probably says crikey too.

 

Haha you just got done bragging that you pay '2500$' to come out and be 'stuck' in the middle of the pacific each year just to surf. Sounds like you are the one stuck buddy.

Fyi sitting on the shoulder and catching one after someone kicked out doesn't count. Its also not DOH at that point either. Nobody buys your act. And not to many come out here and catch bombs on vacation. So get a better story.

 

And to throw in, most surfers would swim up to an attack victim cause most of us frequent the same breaks on a regular basis. So that guy/girl that got bit could very well be someone you see on a regular basis, if not daily.

 

Do you know how to read??? Cause all of what you just wrote contradicts what i just said.

 

The more you type the less you sound lime anybody who has spent any time in the water. I have swam with sharks. J grew up in northern California. The northern tip of the red triangle. Have seen numerous great whites. And I can tell you, from experience, the more interactions with sharks a person has the more comfortable they are around them. I know people that have shark attack scars. They were back in the water as soon as they could be. No fear or needless drive to get back at the sharks for doing what they do.

You on the other hand sound like a scarred mid-westerner that has never seen the ocean except in the movie Jaws.

 

I laughed so hard when I read you "keep a tourniquet".

 

OR a sharkbanz.
