Sharks on the coast

I've heard rumors of sharks on the coast, but never saw one myself or heard anecdotal evidence... http://www.sharkresearchcommittee.com/pacific_coast_shark_news.htm. Anyone here ever see a shark on the coast? Apparently there's a fair number of great whites that make it up here. That site has a great white reporting from yesterday on sunset beach Shocked

If your scared of sharks your probably scared of lightning as well. not sure which one is a dumber fear.

Lightning is just a myth, it's not even real. And I don't think sharks are a threat on the coast given the extremely low volume of attacks, but what I am scared of and what is a big problem on the coast are hidden dog mines on the beach Evil or Very Mad

there is a new test for sharks in the water that I have found very useful.

You taste the water, and if you can detect salt, there are sharks.

My manager has a house on the beach near Garibaldi and last summer a baby salmon shark washed up on his beach. At first they thought it was a great white, but turned out to be a salmon shark....they are almost identical. They surf all the time and would absolutely say yes that there are sharks on the oregon coast and it is something to be aware of! Just sayin!

I see sharks almost every time I'm at the coast, there's a lot of sharks on the coast especially along the southern coast.

i see them all the time while we paraglide over the N. Strip.

I figure the sharks are looking for the y land kiters form posing doing the Euro Poses on this website

That shark report is for Sunset Beach in California.
So Cal has the most great white sightings of all the states.
And millions of bobbing surfers.

Yup - So Cal has alot of sightings.

Think I'll stay away from San O/ Trestles for a week or so. 6 sightings in the last week - 9 in the last couple Shocked
