What a coincidence, that's the same board I use... Maybe its the black color that is attracting the sharks. Since most seals are black maybe the shark assumes that the black colored surfboard could be a seal =_=;;;

read that article in the paper (one made with wood pulp, actual newsprint) and it had a very different picture, and it was even more difficult to tell from the angle of that picture, to me it looked like wood rather than carbon fiber.

No they don't. Humans that kill sharks are the ones that "suck". They are the wrong ones.

Damn.. no good. I hate hearing about sharks and stuff near me. I prefer to pretend they stay far away from the areas I am.

Im kind of with Dr Rev here though. We're the ones going out to them. When sharks grow legs and start attacking people on land, then we can be pissed at them.
