HAHAHAHAHA love it
at the moment my biggest fear is being outback and not being able to get back in. Seeing as I normally surf an empty beach on my own; I think this is a pretty realistic fear

.
I got stuck in a huge rip back last winter and dragged out to sea, I thought I was going to die that day, so now every time I go out of my depth I get a little bit scared. Good job I'm a good swimmer or I might never have made it back to shore.
It was only at Saunton when i was out wih a bunch of veeeeeery cool SW people that I felt safe going out of my depth

every little helps!

My biggest fear is being hit by an unridden Mal ploughing through the lineup during a cleanup bombora with a kook waaaay out of his depth tied to it's legrope.
That's way more sketchy than a departure lounge full of sweating Muslim teenagers with glazed looks in their eyes...
:-)))

There's been sightings of sharks around the uk but it's never been a definate sighting of a great white. Only speculation, but i expect there around somewhere not so far away.

Have to agree with yopu their kitey as their is a Great white breeding ground just off the coast of Italy which in the grand scale of things is not so far away.

Sharks definately scare me..........something to do with being taken to see Jaws by my dad when I was 8 years old, so I tend not to surf in places with sharks.
I do get scared when I'm paddling out in bigger waves than normal and think to myself "I could die here!!"
