Why in the f*ck would you go into the ocean, on a surfboard, & look like a floating seal to a shark

Most bites related to surfing and board sports

Swimming/wading26%
Snorkeling/free-diving4%
Body surfing/horseplay5%
Scuba4%
Following recent trends, surfers and those participating in board sports accounted for most incidents (61% of the total cases). This group spends a large amount of time in the surf zone, an area commonly frequented by sharks, and may unintentionally attract sharks by splashing, paddling, and “wiping out.” Swimmers and waders accounted for 26% of incidents, with remaining incidents divided among snorkelers/free divers (4%), body-surfers (5%) and scuba divers (4%).

There was blood! It's a weird area where the everglades meet a bunch of brackish water very close to the ocean. I'd say the gator was holding his own when I left.

I really wish you would lay off on our aquatic friends the sharks 🦈. Damn it their better than most people. Do they complain about getting up early for work? Or working extra hours for fish parts. Hell no, most of them never sleep. Their out 24 hours a day attacking, biting, killing and eating everything they encounter while constantly reminding everyone whose the meanest mother fu**er in the seven seas. Wouldn’t it be great to field a whole team of 🦈 on Saturday’s in the Fall? One can’t say the same about your other nemesis the grizzly bear. They don’t swim as well and the bums sleep all Winter.

Other than about an hour of sitting in a chair, under an umbrella, doing some serious bikini watching, you can have the ocean. My wife loves it, so I have to indulge her on occasion, but me? Hot sand burning your feet, water that has been pooped and peed in by dozens of ocean-goers and their kids, seaweed slapping against your legs, jellyfish stinging your butt, broken sea shells tearing up your feet....I'll take the pool any day of the week.

FLORIDA: In a terrifying incident, a man came face to face with a gigantic shark while diving in Florida, US.

According to the details, John Moore, 55, was free diving off the coast of Jupiter earlier this month when a huge female shark came too close to him.

In an Instagram post, he wrote, “Up close and personal inspection of the very impressive serrated teeth of a large female Bull shark. A fish had grabbed the chunk of bait and run toward me for cover, before getting scared and dropping the chunk. This set me up for a shot that’s even too close for my 20mm lens. Thanks for the setup to that Horse-eye Jack.”

Talking to Caters News, Moore said, “She was an abnormally large female. Very likely pregnant and certainly hadn’t skipped any meals. She was a very dominant shark, confidently coming right up to me throughout our dive.”

The photos are doing rounds on social media, leaving netizens shocked and impressed at the same time.

One user said, “Absolutely awesome!!!!!” Another wrote, “So amazing!”

A third user added, “I wish people understood how close you were. this is so epic.” Yet another posted, “I am on life support just looking at this.”
