Swimming Deer Interupts Surfing Team Tryouts

True story reported from Dana Point, California!

"Tryout judge Sheri Crummer told the Orange County Register that no one knew where the deer came from. It hopped over rocks and then went off to sea.

Surf team coach Tim Samson paddled out about a quarter of a mile and herded the deer back to shore, where it took off toward a hotel.

Lifeguard Capt. Brad Herzog says deer occasionally come for a swim, but it's rare."

Kangaroos occasionally do that here in Australia. Oh deer!

Cheeze Whiz, dtc! You are not kidding! This is why I always take my high velocity hunting rifle when I go to the beach. You never know when a mad boar will emerge from the surf!

At my home break, there is a guy who rips on a short SUP. He power carves on a 2ft wave, rides in to shore, jogs (yes, jogs!) along to the beach to the point near the lineup, and repeats it all over again. AND, he's always wearing speedos in blinding shades and wild patterns. :shock: The sight definitely keeps me away from his part of the break.
