If you see a Great White Shark jump, you are in trouble! Great White Sharks are fairly common up here in Oregon. Almost to common. Although I was just in Northern California about a month ago surfing and heard about an attack near Eureka, and multiple sightings south of there! We are safer out in the water, then driving on the highway though, right?

:-D

Tony's right about sharks vs driving though, so it would actually be a good swap. (Plenty of waves in south west Wales though)

Lucky that it was only his board. That will teach him to kick a shark.

Maybe he thought he was surfing a fish :!: a fortunate result here but not elsewhere :?
