Gotta be more exciting! I'll stick with seals and mackerel for the time being though

If you see a Great White Shark jump, you are in trouble! Great White Sharks are fairly common up here in Oregon. Almost to common. Although I was just in Northern California about a month ago surfing and heard about an attack near Eureka, and multiple sightings south of there! We are safer out in the water, then driving on the highway though, right?

Depends, do we get the waves as well?

[surf patrol]

Tony's right about sharks vs driving though, so it would actually be a good swap. (Plenty of waves in south west Wales though)

Lucky that it was only his board. That will teach him to kick a shark.

Maybe he thought he was surfing a fish a fortunate result here but not elsewhere
