I had a great white swim under me while surfing in half Moon Bay. It was huge.. probably, 17 to 20 ft. I had nightmares for years and never surfed again.
It's good that your shark stories don't result in injury. The closest I've ever come to that was kayaking near Bainbridge Island in the Seattle area. I had a pod of Orcas swim up behind me and I didn't see them. Next thing I know, a dorsal fin about three feet long goes by inches from my kayak on the right. Without even thinking, I reached out and touched it. It was only after that that I wondered if Orcas were ticklish and if they are, did I just unintentionally tickle an Orca? It's still one of my favorite memories. Thanks for taking the time to share your shark stories with us!
Not in Asia, though. Our ancestors killed shitloads of sharks to make soup and they continue to be harvested. Good for swimmers, I guess, but bad for the ecosystem. Japan might be an exception. There are tiger sharks in Okinawa, and great whites used to be common until their food sources (dolphins, whales, Japanese sea lions) were hunted to extinction.
@@EricEdLoveless If one can set aside the fact that Japan harvests marine mammals, Japan does a good job in monitoring fish stocks, especially since Japanese eat lots of fish. China is the opposite. Their oceans are so dead they're resorting to trespassing into Malaysia, Indonesia, Phillipines, Australia. Heck, even all the way to the Galapagos and Africa, coast guards are having a rough time with Chinese fishing boats.
@@weilim10 living amongst the Japanese for many years showed me that all of them in their own way have a conscientious spirit. For example, even though it rains a lot every year, they still practice water conservation. At lunch, they would talk about water levels in the area as apposed to pop culture. They care about their nation and the world just a bit more than other, IMO. They know they eat a lot of seafood, so they eat anything edible off the kill so as not to be wasteful.
You know, during my early 20's (during the 90's), I used to dive sometimes... I mean, living at a tropical island, to dive is a very normal thing, and I used to be into sea activities together with some friends. - But once I have had a real scary experience with sharks, and since that day I decided to give up the diving activities. 😕 Not that I fear sharks, but something inside of me just said "Okay, I'm done"... And like two weeks after that, someone that used to dive with our group, ended dying, attacked by a shark. (But he actually died on the ambulance, due to the hemorrhage and severe injuries on his leg)... Anyways, sometimes I still think about that...
Grew up on the west coast loved( and still kinda do) the water but after seeing jaws as a kid and a shark attack as a kid. I now can not do the ocean deeper than two feet. Even pools at night (stupid I know) or dark waters in lakes or rivers. I am scarred. Forever. Getting eaten alive could possibly be the worst way to face death. In my opinion, anyway.
You heard her - nothing can keep her from the water. She was escorted out by life guards and heard the report of another surfer bumped off his board. Game of chance I guess, we do it ever single day getting behind the wheel of a car.
Also, if u see birds circling in the woods or oceans, that means there is fresh killed prey and in the ocean can mean an aggressive shark could be feeding and they can again be super aggressive like any predator while feeding. Remember, they live here too and have that God-given right to be here just like you. Lol
Recent shark attack footage has been brutal in the last 2 years (Simon Nellist, most recent Egypt video) I think I will stay on land, knowing these videos are going to be coming more & more!
@@I-hate-youtube797 The usual excuse "it was mistaken identity, shark thought he was a seal" 🦈 Even if that was true, you're still dead ! My grandmother saw a boy killed by a GW & that always put me off the ocean
😇💜 Hi Mackie, When I lived in Huntington Beach and only one mile from the beach. I would walk to and from the beach in the summer time. One summer day I was in the water after we had, had a storm a day or two after the storm, and I was treading water just a few feet from the shore and I happened to look down, and right under me was a sand shark 🦈🥺 that was probably 2 or 3 feet long. I didn't go back in the water 🌊 for sometime after that happened, and if I remember correctly this was around the time the movie Jaws was very much talked about LOL 🤭 I'm pretty sure I know what beach 🏖️ you surf 🏄♀️ 💦at.🤗💜 I can't believe you were surfing 🏄♀️ the same day that a great white shark 🦈 was sighted in the area where you were surfing 🏄♀️. Thank goodness nothing happened to you when you were surfing 🏄♀️. Thank YOU for sharing your adventure with us.🏄♀️🌞🏖️🌴🤗
The paranormal, surfing, life in general, the greatest enemy of fear is knowledge. You know the water, you know yourself. So it doesn't surprise me at all you were right back in the water. Have a great day everyone. Be kind, be safe ✌️
100% respect your desire to go into the water. But just for your safety please be aware that conditions like that. Murky water, early morning, etc. those tend to be the times when sharks are most active. A lot of people who have been attacked by sharks have said the same as you. That they were alone and that they got a weird vibe from everything before they went in. Im not saying stop going in the water, but just be cautious and aware of the conditions. Wont prevent anything but will reduce it.
Totally understand sharks are nothing to mess with, but I've heard it's a case of mistaken identity. Sharks have bad eyesight and mistake surfers for seals. I hate the shark paranoia spread by Hollywood. But that's just my opinion. Glad you're okay!
Sharks didn't evolve with humans being a part of their food chain. But, in the past 150 years or so we have started utilizing the ocean for sport and play. We are in ocean now more than ever in human history. As they encounter is more and more and those have those "accidental" feedings on humans we will become a part of that food chain. They teach each other how to hunt different prey. The Air Jaws Whites around South Africa didn't always do that. One learned and taught the others. Eventually the word will get around how easy prey we are and we will no longer be able to play or sport on the ocean Same for Orcas. Someone pissed the ones off in the Straight of Gibraltar and now the Orcas attack and sink boats regularly. Next will come straight attacks on humans then they pods that travel will learn from them and they will take it to other residential pods and teach them. At this rate I don't think we will even be able to be on the ocean in anything other than a largish ship.
Don't believe that crap, they know what you are, they have survived this long by being dumb. The mistaken identity is basically a smoke screen for tourism....
The thing despise is Hollywood movies it does happen in real life theres bunch of stories of divers getting decapitated by great whites, even a story about a car that crashed on Sydney Australia Bridge and there were 3 adults 1 child the driver was the only left alive while the car was sinking in the water and they were about 13 sharks circling and breaking the car from the inside(thats how he somehow escape where shark made the hole) and shark was eating the people from the back he swam on the coast(since was nearby) whoever were those people they got eaten is terrifying!!
dear friend be ready for stuff in the coming time and tell your bestie Amanda the same beee ready girls.. its all going to change sweeties... as i writed on twitter hugz mac
So, long story short, you learned nothing? You had a close encounter with one of the planet’s most perfect killing organisms and that wasn’t enough for you?
You don't get lucky very often especially from an unpredictable apex predator just please be careful out there i wouldn't want you to get bitten in half
In the Ocean your just a part of the FoodChain. BTW a surfer in a wetsuit on top of a board looks exactly like a seal from below. A Great White’s favorite Hors D'oeuvre

We call that smart where I'm from. 👍
Further evidence that when that eerie vibe is felt by experienced ocean goers. Usually pays to take heed
Note to self.... Weird vibe = stay out of the H2O😅

I always told myself “if you’re in the ocean, you’re near a shark”. I’ve had plenty of known encounters and who knows how many unknown encounters.

how was your shark attack?what happened ?
@deathnsd6953 when I was a kid I saw an attack happen. Messed me up for life.
Sounds like it was looking sharky out there...sharks love gloomy grey weather.

@@rickjones2912 100% correct. She rolls the dice but that's her choice.
Remember -once you enter the ocean you’re part of the food chain. Happy travels gal.

Some people just asking to get a shark week episode made for em.
this was her warning, the next incident will not be a warning it will be end game.

Because they are caught on video more frequently?
Wow, great excuse to stay fat and lazy
Same. These surfers can become apart of the oceans food chain all they want but I won’t I’ll stick to skateboarding 😂
Sharks have no interest in humans....

Is that dog beach ? In San Diego
heartstopping moment
Yup um all set turning myself into a statistic 😊
I think my neighbor is a sand shark...
It bumped another surfer off his board. That's just cute! Seems like a bro shark and just chillin out pranking peeps, I hope it's ok.
“Will not keep me from surfing” ok 😂
Never knew sand sharks were into toes lol
big time!
Anyone would be into her toes look at her
I guess I’m a sand shark in that case.
When it's overcast, there's a good chance the fish are biting. You should have known that.
That surfer that got knocked off his board snaked the great white's wave.
😎
Always trust your gut feeling girl
Hmm sand sharks are toe suckers huh? That had to have been the craziest feeling!!! LOL 😮😂
Where is that
Always listen to your gut girl!
Gloomy out and nobody in the water is a recipe for disaster. Be careful next time. I would go when other people are about
Stay safe.
Be cerfule and greetings from Poland!
You are lucky nextime you are mot lucky
Hungtinton beach?
Back in the water and dressed like a seal ... their favorite meal !
Stay safe
Where the hell is there no one out? I’ve been up and down the west coast, Costa Rica and Florida. Never have I seen no one out.

One day you will be buried in shark's stomach😂😂😂
I was that sand shark.
Had a great time & thx❣️
🦶🏼🦈
I suddenly am jealous of sand sharks
Oh i thought it bit you then did a joint podcast.
Sand sharks be having a foot fetish
Maybe that's the Lord telling you to QUIT while you're ahead?? Others weren't so lucky!!! God bless ❤ Stay Safe!
So you weren't near the shark then. Stay safe, this is why I skateboard
thats newport beach huh ' in orange county

I’m glad I have no interest in surfing 🏄♂️
Thrill seekers..not worth it I stay on land 😂
The shark’s name? Quentin Tarantino
So you felt a weird feeling but still went??
Exactly. Trust your instincts. She was lucky.
Talk to me in 20years

Keep asking for it

Freaky ass sand shark

even sharks dont want to risk having to hear a western women talk

Good luck, I'm sorry but knowing sharks are in the water and you still continue to encroach in those areas... Yeah may God be with you
Ignoring instincts that how been honed over thousands of years.
A domesticated mistake!

You have a weird feeling, but still went out there. Well at least you did your hair.....haha. What a load of nonsense this clip.
Sharks with foot fetishes? No, thank you, I will not be subscribing to their OnlyFins 👿

You don't get lucky very often especially from an unpredictable apex predator just please be careful out there i wouldn't want you to get bitten in half
you need to be more attentive . your life depends on it. lucky
Stop risking your life for little fun. Madness.
Not the brightest thing to do when there is a pier to your left.. 🙄
so many victim by shark sory i want only to warn you
Alittle naive and clueless , next time you,ll will recognize the warnings ..maybe .
The ocean is not our environment. If you keep testing fate you will run out of luck one day. Find another hobby.
yo i surf there too wanna be friends?
