Anatomy of a GW shark attack

[SLiiCK]

Sudden fondness for crappy uk waters.

Definitely we've only got the cold and muddy water(Brean/Weston) to worry about!
Good read though, was out surfing in California 25 years ago it never occurred( naive then) to me you got great whites out there until the day after I had been out at San Ofre they caught a 15ft great white a few miles up the beach but attacks are few and far between but must have been absolutely terrifying when it happened to this guy.

I know been kitesurfing down there since 2001 Brean/Weston you sometimes come out like a chocolate ice cream and need a good hose down but never got ill from the water but it doesn't always look tempting but damn good wind there

That must have been good it was San Onofre long time since I was there always get the spelling wrong was asking a surfer when out what were the 2 domes on the beach not realising they were a nuclear power station,me and my wife hired a pick up truck and travelled down the west coast bought a surfboard from San Clemente chucked it in the back and had the best time ever finishing off travelling to Las Vegas in the truck for the last 2 days a time to remember

I lived in Carlsbad, (south of Pendleton) at the time ; sold HG rides at Torry-Pines,
La Jolla about 200 days a year, just North of San Diego from 1980 to 1990 , and
surfed Blacks Beach below those cliffs on the mornings that i was there for Hang gliding.
Lots of tourist-girls from all over the world to choose from, and good food & Fun !!
All that time spent there , doing that ; it did essentially, ((SQUAT/Nada)) for my Work-ethic
so i headed up to Canada and barn-stormed about, selling rides around BC for another 5 years.

All that time spent in Southern Cali beaches ; i NEVER seen ANY of those GW sharks .
When i moved to Las Vegas at the end of the 90's ; i read that a guy got eaten by a GW
near Del Mar Ca, that same year, (Poor Guy) .
