Yea, but what do you do when the kids ask, "can we keep him, and take him home?"

I dont have to be faster then then the shark, only faster than you. Good reason to take a newbie with you.

Seriously though, if its gonna happen there is not a great deal you can do. Gotta agree that if the shark makes a slow curious approach it wasn't out to eat you. I surfed all over Humboldt county for years and just kinda came to grips with the fact that you give your "top of the food chain" seat while you're in the ocean. I've seen about every other creature that lives in the ocean off Cali. Confident I'll get a drive by from the land lord some day.Mike

If yo were really worried about it then just go into some thick kelp. It will make it more difficult for it to maneuver into an optimal position for an attack. Personally I wish I could see one everytime I go out. If I can see him than the dogs can see him and he will be less likely to go for stuff on my line. Well that may be wishful thinking

but i would rather lose a fish to the white than to a dog.

the other day the dogs acted like he was not there . they kept sunbathing , and then all of a sudden one less dog was around .

. and this shark was no gentle giant . he was hungry and agitated .

"HOLY SARDINE" is right

. Just find a shark repellant that does not make the sharks go explosive on you
