Did ANY of you South Africans see JAWS??
The water around the coast down there is shark central, but still you dress like sea lions and splash around in the water like you were an injured
one!
Craziest people I ever met!  
Loved those brai's tho' - but couldn't handle the biltong...
Best Regards,
Steve.

Still can't get my head around these people that voluntarily enter the water.... a water where everything in it wants to bite you, sting you or
eat you... and lets face it they have a point. If a bloody great heairy foot come crashing down through your ceiling you'd be pissed off too!

That shark isnt going to eat him.
Sharks have to be frightened to attack. Jaws is rubbish: shark behaviour just isnt like that!
Generally sharks will attack if:
They are driven into a feeding frienzy by chumming (swirling loads of fish blood and guts in the water)
Or a group of divers corners one underwater (only really applicable to little reef sharks)
Or sometimes they may associate human presence with food (beacause of cage diving) and take a little nip, realise its not food and leg (fin?) it.
He's just curious...

whack it with the paddle and hope for the best or sit tight and hope for the best
Either way a change of pants would be required !

I went into the RSPCA office the other day. It was so small you could hardly swing a cat in there.

The last one.
The presence of cage divers in the water is associated with food by the shark because the cage dive boat operator normally chucks dead fish guts into
the water, which to a shark IS food.
So, the sharks begin to associate human silhouettes with food. Hence, they see one, even swimming in the shalows, and take a nip to decide whether its
a meal. The shark realises its not, and wanders off disapointed.

Surfing is pure fun and the johnnys are just another risk. Riding your motorbike to the beach with your surfboard stuck out the back carried a bigger
risk than the sharks. Rule one Stay out when there is chocolate water after heavy rain. Rule 2 Surfin when its dark or dusk carried a higher risk.
Rule three surf in a group ...........it increases your chances of not getting munched
Oh and wax that board properly.........as anyone who meets me will see.........fins hurt bad real bad I have the scars
