Sharks at Swamis - Surfboardfishing 090911
We just had a giant SW swell, producing 20 foot surf at Newport and creating some lifetime waves south at Swamis in Encinitas. Seems even the sharks like surfing at Swamis, Okay say this ten times really fast!...She sells sea shells at the sea shore. Sharks like swiming at Swamis.
Depicted by the recent photo of a 10-12 foot Great White Shark, Carcharodon carcharias, duck diving a wave amidst some enthusiastic surfers, an ameture photographer shot a photo two days before the swell hit, and he captured the imagination of America. It was clearly the cadual fin of a white shark, but this was not the end.
A day after I surfed Swamis, I turned on the news to witness a photo of a washed up and half-eaten shovelnose shark at the same spot I was earlier. News 8 reported it was attacked by a Great White Shark (GWS), I was skeptical, but damn...Jaws is back in town! I thought of my memories as a young boy, scary memories of man-eating sharks, and water turned blood red. I was afraid.
No bully ever beat me up and got away with it. I always got the better of them...or at least I put up a good fight, and they never came around again. If I ever lost, I'd never give up, until I settled it with myself, then, I became friend with my enemy.
