I have had a 3000lb. white shark abort a high speed attack inches beneath me only to be softly lifted and turned 180 degrees by it during a "can I eat that inspection" on the second pass at me.....
I surfed that same spot one week later......
I had a 1000lb. white shark visible to me in the gin clear water at Dillon Beach rise up (and if not for me moving my leg out of the water........)and take a swiping biting miss where my leg was while disturbing my attitude in the water violently.......I surfed that place again within a month I think....
Am I Scared now?.........
Go ahead.....consume me! *slides off of board to make it easy for you.......willing

Claayer: Exactly!... it would only happen to me once... after that, I'd be sticking to the BATH.
no kidding...the bath is good, safe, warm..i have a shark in my fish tank, but he/she is only 4" so isnt too harmful...but wouldnt want him in my bath water either..LOL

haha I used to swim in the evenings at a private pool.. there was only me in there.. I would tern the exterior lights off.. and just put the under water lights on.. it was like the movie Cocoon. Blue.. and shadowy.. lovely..
I would swim.. up and down .. up and down.. then I would notice all the shadows.. and start hearing the JAWS music in my head.. it used to freak me out so often.. it made me get OUT!
