my last time out at LA Jolla there was a stingray in almost ankle deep water as I was launching. It swam a few feet away from me and then spun around to have another look at me. I think I will shuffle my feet for now on. Stingrays can be nasty. I meet a guy once who went into anaphylaxis (severe allergic reaction) after being nailed by a stingray which lead to a full arrest (heart stopped) on the beach. With the aid of some people on the beach,lifeguards, and EMS he was brought back to life. So other than just localized pain, in rare cases their sting can be potentially lethal.
