you should see the shark here man holy shit.  they patrol the shallow coastal water too.  i used to surf before i fished, wont even take my whitewater kayak out there now, id be toast if even a medium one got curious.  like they seem to generally know people arent food, but you dont jump in with the lions at the zoo do you. and believe me theres a lot more sharks than lions so i plan to do neither.
