What shark?

Postby oldmansurfer » Wed Nov 02, 2016 11:18 pm

So what is worse.... dying or regretting it for the rest of my life? Obviously I chose not regretting it.

Since we are talking of sharks, this is a really good 5 min video on what to do/how to treat shark attack victims. Those of you in England probably dont have to watch it since your sharks dont have teeth

With all the Australian shark attacks you would think they would have commercial shark attack kits instead of DIY.

The number of shark attacks has increased massively in the last 2-3 years in certain spots; I'm sure by now someone has made available a commercial kit. The rest of the country is still OK - where I surf there has never been an attack, for example.
