Paddle boards? They definitely needed a bigger boat.

Hahaha...the video of one of the girls, smiling and paddling her board laying on her stomach, her arms suddenly elevating and her face becoming rigid as she saw the fin was priceless!

Can’t you feel them circling, honey?
Can’t you feel them swimming around?
You got fins to the left, fins to the right
And you’re the only bait in town

Lots of sharks around the Cape because there are lots of Gray seals, especially around Monomoy Island - but also up and down the Ocean coast.
