But I've surfed under the full moon before.
Surf to your skill and comfort. And it's good practice to have a buddy with you.

That way if you do get into a ray you don't step on him and most likely the thing that will happen is that once you bump him with your foot he will just get out of your way. He called it the Sting Ray Shuffle.

rich r wrote:Yeah, the chance of getting attacked is small - what, 10 people a year in the world? But it still doesn't mean shark activity doesn't go up at sunrise/sunset.
And being close to shore doesn't do anything.. the majority of attacks happen in shallower water.. around 3 feet.
