How is this “chilling”? Those sharks aren’t big enough to attack humans.

Some small 1 kilogram HE missiles would fix that problem.

I saw a man at the beach screaming, “Help, shark, help!” I laughed because I knew the shark wasn’t going to help him.

This is news?
Spent years Kayaking around Santa Cruz.
The Blue Sharks will come right up and bump your boat 100 feet from the beach.

Us tah see this all the time flying in and around the Carbi with the CG out ah miami.

Folks swimming off a boat in the blue water,usually naked.
A message block dropped to them advising them of sharks 50 100 yd away sent them all floundering back to the boat double time.
Was fun to watch.

Last year baby blues were everywhere in the Ventura waters. Biggest one I saw was 2 ft. The tourists at the beaches were freaking out cause they were swimming around their legs while they were wading in the water.

Yes, they are, eight to ten feet long. Great Whites don’t attack humans by mistake as some believe, they are just hungry.

scary! I used to surf there and all around Santa Cruz. The worst place was Davenport, there was one shark attack a year there, like clockwork. People used to talk about whether it was “sharky” on certain days and seasons, like normal people would talk about the rain.
