When Sharks Attack



Yes, I know sharks are out there. But I've always felt safe surfing here because it's just "Southern Cali". No one really gets attacked by sharks around here.

Until yesterday.

There was a fatal shark attack in North County. Right in Solana Beach, one of the main beaches. A 12-17 ft. Great White shark mistook a group of triathlete swimmers for a pod of seals. The man was 66 yrs. old and he bled to death on the beach before anyone could help him.

Ethical question of the day:
Am I playing God by knowing there is always the chance i could DIE because I choose to be a surfer?
