There was a 28 year old surfer from the same area attacked just ten miles north from our spot at Vandenberg the day before less then 24 hours. So yes three attacks in less then 24 hours

After an attack in western oz last week, the local authorities issued a green light on the killing of the "rogue" sharks which took off both arms of a local surfer. It's sad that they have to resort to killing the sharks so that people can feel some sort of justice or security.

It's their ocean after all, and it has been for hundreds of millions of years. Glad no one was hurt.

Thanks for the post, 10 feet in the air sounds like getting hit bit a car! I'm glad you guys were there to help and were able to keep calm. It's surprising that Ryan doesn't have a sore back.

CAR???

...I was thinking moe along the lines of a Polaris/Trident missile. A kayak (Outback) being "Launched" about 10' into the air is almost hard to fathom given the weight of the Kayak, fisherman and gear carried (Over 100+#'s? That shark must have one heck of a bruised nose)!

I'm not going to name names but last week someone called me out as "over-reacting" to the Hammerhead incidents in S.D. (and if I'm not mistaken, they are more unpredictable than GW's) by wanting to build a "TASER" for sharks.

I'm just glad the kayaker was OK and my concerns for the surfer that was attacked.
