A man on a boogie board was killed by a shark off the coast of central California on Friday.

The attack happened around 10:40 a.m. at a Morro Bay beach known as “The Pit,” according to KSBY.

The shark bite appeared to be from a Great white shark, first responders told the outlet.

The victim had not been identified, and his age was unknown, the station said.

Swimmers and surfers were banned from going into the water for the next 24 hours, according to the report.

It appeared to be the first reported fatal shark attack of the year in the US, according to data complied by TrackingSharks.com.

Maybe it is because he wasn’t wearing a mask or hadn’t been vaxxed...

Or it could have been that seal costume. 🤡

Black wetsuit....mistaken identity.

Fauci is working on a vaccine to prevent that.

If it was a boogie board, you are not that far off shore.

Will someone explain to me again why great white sharks shouldn’t be caught and killed?

Anything that is of no use to you should be exterminated.

Check.

That is a good question. But our society has a rather low regard for human life. And a too-high regard for all types of sea creatures.
That snarky answer right after your question: well, that is someone who thinks it is great to see people suffer and die for the crime of mistaken identity.

“a surfer had a chunk taken out of his board by a shark.” Brutal area. Lots of sharks nearby, especially in the winter. As they say in the area, “You only go surfing when you have to.”

I’ve dove Morro Bay back many years ago.
Defiantly Great White territory and a tough place for an emergency evacuation.

I’m not a surfer but ive never thought it was a good place to surf because of small wave size because of bottom gradient. Same applies to Pismo Beach.
