I am often asked "is it true about all the sharks here?" . Here is a little video taken years ago by a couple of local fishermen.. A current affair came up here to do a story after seeing this YouTube clip and on the day of filming they caught no less than seven white pointers.. I definitely don't want to deter anyone from coming up here.. For many many years i have surf/kite and SUPed here almost every day.. And i have only been attacked 4-5 times none of them being fatal. And of the hundreds of sharks I have seen. most of them have been under 8 ft..
milko "And i have only been attacked 4-5 times none of them being fatal"
?????? WTF??????
Yes, you must be getting quite bored of those piss weak little sharks with their ineffective non fatal attacks, hardly worth getting out of bed for.
I know the numbers, if sharks wanted to eat people they would feast each day on the east coast in summer. I can see them sitting out the back at around 5.30 am.
Big scary shark 1: "What time is it? I'm hungry."
Big scary shark 2: looking at watch "About 5.30, first clubby should be having a swim soon."
Big scary shark 1: "Those clubbies are a bit crunchy, but anything will do to wash the taste of that pissty I bit at 3am, ugh, I hate the taste of VB, how can people drink that stuff?"
Big scary shark 2: "I'm hearing you, give me a tooheys drinker any day."
Big scary shark 1: "Hey, here comes the dawn patrol."
Big scary shark 2:"Sweet, no wetsuits either, I love summer."
I get that they don't really want to eat people, but still, every time I see one, my arse hole slams shut so hard I punch a hole in my speedos before I scratch, scramble and blunder to the shore like a traumatised, asthmatic infant.
I have seen guys stay out in the water after a shark sighting, 'thins the crowd' they say as a happy afterthought.
My questions are. Are these people brave, insane or incredibly stupid?
Can I/do I want to learn to do this?
got this off another thread

in that vid they say that jimmys beach/hawkesnest is one of two main congregation points for whites on the east coast, anyone know where the other is?
