Maybe they should have signs like they do in Morro Bay, this would have not happened.

Isn't it a given that sharks live in the ocean? You enter their world at your own risk.

Unfortunately it only takes one uninformed/mistaken shark to ruin your day. The outcome isn't always bad, right?

If sharks went to school they could read the sign and could have sovled this whole issue...

Last month a Great White was cruising the mouth of Santa Barbara Harbor for a week on and off. This spring ( I think ) a surffer / life guard at the city Surf was killed by one. A little one washed up at Rincon in spring to.

Just to much seals for them to eat around. Need to go clubing Dam Seals

i think 90% of the people who actively go in the ocean, especially surfers, know the dangers of being out there, including the chance of a shark wanting to see what you taste like.

I'm sure the guy, if he had survived, wouldn't have blamed the shark and probably would have kept on surfing.
