I surfed that spot on Santa Rosa that guy just got hit at. Firing 100 yard lefts. 10 foot faces. Hated every second of it. The paddle through the kelp was terrifying. Long scary paddles.

To me, an extra set of legs means I have a 50% chance of not getting hit if a shark is indeed going to hit someone while I'm there.
Still an extraordinarily slim chance, I know, but having someone else out there puts my mind at ease.
Grew up surfing high risk places. North of Santa Cruz. As a kid. Saw the biggest Great White I have ever witnessed doing a surf check at Pescadero. Ano, Rims, Waterfalls. Had a good friend I went to High School with get attacked. Scott Creek area, 180 stitches.
After all of those years. Now two minutes away. All of the local south county beaches. The places I thought were safe, are full of juvie Great Whites. They come in and warm up in the shallow waters. Used to be 8', now pushing 10' - 11'.
So when does the day come when one of these big, warm, lazy bastards just decides to eat the legs dangling down instead of swimming 20 miles to catch a seal???
