Had my left foot nearly torn in half at ponce inlet back in august of 95. 45 stitches. Some tips to reduce a shark encounter. Don’t surf alone. Go for the popular crowded spots. Try not to surf in murky water. Sharks are more likely to bump or test bite you in murky water. Don’t surf during twilight hours. Early morning and late afternoon/evening. This is prime feeding time. And try not to surf when bait fish are present. When I got bit I broke all these rules.
Yep, so true, easy to know the rules and easier to break them. My family now has had 3 shark bites believe it or not! If you like SurfAllDayA1A you are going to love my music channel @JediJingleMaker, please check it out and subscribe, leave a comment you heard about it here. Check out my new original song,1 each week, Florida Original Music (FOM). I usually am fairly guitar centric, however in this track I play with some more techno and classical instrument elements th-cam.com/video/dgoY5oWBLFA/w-d-xo.html
This is the coolest video I've seen in a while. Gives one some perspective. Monster Hole looks very intense, gives me the willies imagining paddling out solo. I imagine one feels very satisfied and life affirmed after a successful sesh. Not many spots like this in NC. Hope to make it down to the warm waters of Florida this winter. Thanks for the great videos and philosophical / hilarious commentary!
Glad you enjoyed it! I am working on a new one now, episode 7, the art of refracto surfing! Here is a vid from my original music channel th-cam.com/video/v0K7Qf-x2H4/w-d-xo.html
Never surfed on a board in my life, but back in the day I body surfed off 13th street at Newport Beach, Calif. Didn't see any "men in grey suits" while I played in the white water there, but if I did I'd probably have limited all my subsequent water sports to the swimming pool. My fascination with sharks dates back to when Peter Benchley's novel "Jaws" came to life on the silver screen, way back when dinosaurs roamed the Earth.
Listening to the zen-like cadence of this video clip's narration, it occurred to me that hard-core surfers are truly a breed apart from other mortals, in that they embrace an omnipresent danger that induces visceral terror in practically everyone else. The turbulent, murky waters captured in this drone footage greatly increase the odds of anyone out there suffering an "exploratory bite" of unpredictable severity, so my hat is off to you surfers that venture out there with regularity. Bawls of tempered steel are what y'all have.
Yeah, that is a great comment, thanks! Jaws had a huge impact on me, gave me a choice, safety or adventure? Being meta safe is best, to know when to go and when not to go.

I grew up surfing Florida in the 80's and Monster Hole is sometimes the best left in Florida ! Also the scariest paddle out ever ! Especially at first light ! You can feel the sea life around you ! The worst shark encounter I ever had was at Blind Pass between Sanibel and Captiva island ! I was knocked up into the air as soon as I got out over the sandbar into deeper water ! My friend that was about 30' away said it was at least a 16-18' Hammerhead ! It literally tossed me up into the air like a toy .......and I weighed about 235 pounds but I didn't get bit ! Only damage was to the bottom of my surfboard and it had a straight crease that went across the bottom from one end to the other ! It was a 22" wide board !
That is INSANE! The big hammerheads are like monsters to me. Great story though.
@@SurfAllDayA1A It's true and that's not the only time I've posted it in the comments ! It was back in like the 90's if my memory serves me correct ! I've been out at the North Jetty in Ft. Pierce when literally thousands of blacktops and hammerheads where doing their North to south migration and it was pretty hairy ! First we where surrounded by millions of bait fish.....then the trapon came...... Then the sharks ! I saw two big tarpon get eaten by hammerheads and by then I noticed me and my friend where the last two surfers out with over a hundred on the beach ! When we got to shore the surfers said three 6-8' blacktips followed us right up into knee deep water ! But hey no blood no foul ......right ?
Yessir, you will never be more alive then when a predator has you in its sights. I say enjoy it. th-cam.com/video/SeuIfqGOHmg/w-d-xo.html My new music channel!
@@SurfAllDayA1A I love watching your videos having grew up in SW Florida. I spent over 30 years surfing all over Florida from the early 1980's through 2013 ! Old age and car accidents have taken there toll and I'm disabled now so I live a vicarious surf life through the awesome videos people like you post ! If you read this thanks for all you do !
@@wisdomoverfear2685 That's inspiring . I am preparing myself to follow this newly born passion to surf at 44. Pretty soon I'll be moving to drivable distance to Panhandle area. Are 30A beaches offer decent waves for a newbie surfer. How's the water temperature during summers. Thanks for your comments.
Great video I'm at Spanish house alot. Hurricane Larry got monster hole firing. That's an amazing place
Yessir, kinda lonely on a day like the one in the video, hehe.
As a young teenage surfer in the early 70's, my father used to drop me off at Canaveral Pier on his way to work in the morning and later pick me up after work late in the afternoon, letting me surf all day. One day when he came to pick me up, I had been watching the fishermen on the pier trying to catch something big for quite some time. We went down to see what was going on and saw that they had reeled in a tiger shark that was working its way through the pilings and was about as long as the pier is wide...and I had been surfing just a few yards from there.
Daniel, that is such a cool story! There are so many sharks out there swimming under us all the time. Check this out th-cam.com/video/NiiaLfeRhzo/w-d-xo.html
Surfed Patricks AFB in the 80's sharks where the norm there. My wife use to say don't you see all those sharks. Never bothered us . But did have a friend who got bit on the heal at the Cocoa Beach Pier. Didn't see the blood until he was on shore. We taped up the puncture wounds and Both of us Surfed the rest of the day.
Yessir, just a bite, nothing to get overly bent out of shape over.
My best friend got bit by a small shark at the North Jetty in Ft. Pierce on his big toe .......and used super glue to close the cuts.....then wrapped it all up in duct tape and went right back out ! I asked him if he was worried about getting bit again and he said " Nah ! It was just a little toe chomper !" His name was Paul Fraley and he was a legend !
Very cool man. I visit the area a couple times a year to see my folks. I've been visiting this inlet since the late 80's as a kid and just recently (two years) got into surf photography. Sharks are always in the back of my mind when I swim out there with the water housing to photograph surfers. But it's risk we're willing to take to live the life we enjoy.
Yes, the reality is, chaos and malevolence exists and we will encounter it. A shark is really neither of those, simply a natural force like any other. And yes, it can hurt me. However, the heroes journey does not involve being less afraid, it is to become more brave and strong. I have friend who died while surfing, not from sharks, he had a heart attack. He actually had the heart attack while dropping into a perfect wave at the end of his street. Simply beautiful, no words needed to see that beauty. When we are moving towards what we love, come what may, we are already there.
been waiting a while for this one!
Thanks, how did you like it?
@@SurfAllDayA1A amazing! very well done and the drone shots were 🔥looking forward to more of your videos
Hello my friend thank you for sharing this Video with us my good friend
So nice of you, thanks!
Thanks for this video man
No problem! Stoked you liked it, Releasing a new vid in moments as a premiere live chat, FYI.
This is so relaxing, I literally feel aspleep
Wonderful! I tried to give the smooth delivery of info with the hypnotic delivery. :) Check out my new original music channel and subscribe, also very trance like, hehe th-cam.com/video/2NoReptEW3E/w-d-xo.html
Monsterhole is probably the scariest paddle out/in spot in Florida ! There are worse places to paddle out as far as the likelihood of getting bit by a shark in Florida ......but those places hardly ever break so not much is known about them ! There are a few passes on the Gulf side of Florida where Hammerheads and Bullsharks use as breeding grounds .......and the Hammerheads are massive there ! Ask me how I know ! Monsterhole is scary because the water is sometimes clear enough to see them swimming around you ......and there's some big sharks around there as well ! I've surfed all over Florida for a few decades and I've also seen hundreds of blacktips at Reef rd. in the dead of winter ......literally hundreds !
So true, when you see the monsters it really dares you to be there. I love it! Check out my new original music channel called "JediJingleMaker".

Very special place. Been lucky enough to score Monster Hole a few times when it was really on.
The takeoff peak can get very cramped and is a very competitive peak.
The inlet side still occasionally gets “good” but it is a slim shadow of what it used to be. Extremely over-hyped now and very fickle. First peak wedge is basically non-existent outside a couple days a year. The inlet usually just a very crowded shorebreak-esque wave with a ton of close outs and backwash.
There is a reason why very few contests are still held here.
Really have to have a depth of knowledge of swells-angle, period, size, combo swell, and drastic tidal affects of the inlet and Monster Hole.
The inlet nowadays is more of a fishing Mecca versus surfing.
Yep, great spot. I hope you will check out my original music channel and give me a sub there, thanks! th-cam.com/video/9fXXfspBvR0/w-d-xo.html
This vid deserves more likes 👍
Thanks I appreciate that and hope you sub! Check out the shark video I am releasing in 15 minutes as a LIVE PREMIERE.
I live there we fish that spot all the time schools of blues and Jack's everywhere, if you get bit there it's about 2 miles from shore ! Brave and experienced only! You take your life in your hands and not from sharks the waves & current are vicious and deadly not a surfer but it must be some kind of ausome sensation to go there to surf!
Awesome comment Patrick, thanks! No feeling in the world like dangling over a pit filled with man eating monsters. If you thing about it, every day of our lives is like this, literally. What a wonderful and perfect universe. My 2 cents. Check out my new original music channel called "JediJingleMaker".

I remember the first time getting rubbed at monster hole. 1st time scary as hell but then just get used to it.
yessir Charles, an amazing philosophical exercise is to have a monster come up and give you a bump. Safety is an illusion, this is certain. Who would want that anyway? Rabbits focus on safety. I would rather be the thing that is strong enough to deal with a dangerous world. My thoughts anyway.

Most of the time I am begging a narrator to just.shut.UP. You, my friend, are enjoyable to listen to. I like the relaxed patter of local lore, wave info, all kinds of small detail information. I really enjoyed it. Kinda thought the music to be cheesy, but am recently working with the truths of chenrizig (Kwan Yin who l listens to the cries of the world) and the women are somehow reminding me of her. As I sit here in the wee hours trying to ride through the waves of cancer pain, I am glad you popped up in this thread response to me wanting to see fun shark and surfer vids. I just really like that you are dropping Shark 101 information that people need to internalize. Thanks!
Thanks. Sharks are water dogs.
Are we looking at monster hole At 11:00 ? Are these the waves?
