only managed to make it through the first couple pages because I'm tired but I just wanted to chyme in and say I think this is legit.

I saw approx. an 8ft shark the first time I ever windsurfed in the gulf off of Saint Pete's Beach near Tampa Bay, FL

Scared the shit out of me. the guy I rented the rig from tried to tell me I saw a dolphin because if I saw a shark then the beach would get closed which is bad for business....

anyway I know what I saw. the water is crystal clear down there and it was bigger then a dolphin and more shark shaped...should be enough to say its a shark right? lol

also to the troll...you said something about surfing all the time and never seeing sharks....okay sure that must mean they don't exist then. because you've never seen one.....that is the dumbest argument I've ever heard.

lets use that same logic in a different scenario. I drive my car all the time. I drive a lot actually (around 25k miles per year) yet I have never been in a car accident. that must mean car accidents never happen...I mean I've never been in one and I drive a lot so they must not happen because I should have been hit or hit someone by now, right?!?!...nice logic there buddy. The hole in your argument is big enough to drive a truck through.

Remember you're more likely to get in a car accident then eaten by a shark so next time you go to the ocean watch out because if you some how manage to use up all your luck and not get in a wreck you'll be more then likely to get eaten

Read "Devil's Teeth" if you'd like some more insight about Great Whites. It's a journalists account of some of the research done at the Farallon Islands off the coast of SF. They documented 20ft+ sharks that were almost 8ft wide in the mid section. On the plus side once they're that big maybe you'll get swallowed whole and have enough room to move around inside. Keep in mind their mid section is wider than mouth so that doesn't mean they have an 8ft wide jaw. Supposedly they can take a pretty substantial chunk out of an elephant seal though.

Ahh, tales of the scary stuff...

Nightmares, what a rush, Alfred Hitchcockish pleasures of the Id...

Back in the day, when I was in junior high, I was surfing Zuma beach of all places, sitting out side at dawn freezing (pre wet suit days) my ass off when...

Two fins, no less than three feet tall, side by side, beautiful bow wakes peeling off their leading edges in perfect pipeline-ish barrels...

Nothing to do, nowhere to run--They were coming straight at me, full steam...

End of story, they just went by me one on my left one on my right--

Killer whales

Didn't really have time to be scared as it was over before the situation set in...

I remember those perfect bow waves, and the feeling of being out of place...

Well, and freezing my fucking ass off....

One night while fishing in Alaska a very fat Salmon Shark (very rare sighting in the Bering Sea) was caught in our net. It was probably in the net for an hour or more thrashing around in the dark out of our sight. As we pulled in the net we saw a big wad of it twisted up. We had no idea what happened until the wad was close to the boat an we saw the shark. This shark had a huge amount of power to do what it did to our net. I was was absolutely amazed. It was not moving, about 7 ft long, and very fat. It looked more like a barrel than the sleek sharks you see on nature shows. I was 95% sure it was dead. It was big enough that three of us could not pull it into the boat to untangle it from the net, so we tossed a coin and I lost. Two guys held me by my boots and hung me over the side of the boat. I had to reach into the shark’s mouth to pull out a rope to free it from our net. It is dark out, I am hanging upside down, I have a big black shark eye staring at me with a mouth full of teeth, grinning and just waiting for me to make my move. I think it is dead, but, I have seen enough movies were a seemingly dead animal springs back to life and chews up a teenager to get my imagination going full speed. I hit the shark a couple of times on the nose to see if it would react. No reaction, so I removed the rope while being careful not to cut my hand on its teeth. I watched the shark slip in to the dark ocean like Leonardo Di Caprio in the movie Titanic. Mission accomplished and fingers still attached. The two guys holding my upside down by my boots were disappointed that I did not hang onto the shark somehow, so they could see what Salmon Shark taste like. This shark was a few hundred pounds!!! I told them what I thought of them in language that is very popular on fishing boats. They got the message. End of story

Nice Nak. Margaritas always make the day better. Just fyi- Seaside aquarium has been spending good portion of their time investigating dead seals with shark bites up & down the beach for the last couple weeks.

Great post Nak! Thanks for posting.

As to the authenticity of the tale...

* Late summer seems to be the right time of year. August/Sept have been when the last two shark attacks occurred on OR coast, if I'm not mistaken.
* There were shark sitings last week on the central coast.
* Nak's been posting here forever and is known by tons of dudes.

Bottom line - I buy it.

Thanks again Nak.

Duuude!!!
That's so cool that you got to experience that!
The ocean has been really busy lately. I've noticed a lot more life out there lately.
I saw a huge gray thing breach right outside the break when I was shooting this weekend at manzo.
Probably a whale, definitely wasn't a shark, but cool to see.
And there were a shitload of jellys out there!
