They said it was a Tiger Shark but who knows? With a 10 inch jaw size it doesn't really matter WHAT kind of shark it was. It's another beautiful windy day here in Maui but I think the crowds might be a bit thinner for the next day or so.

Coupla years ago, great footage as you can see not one, but TWO sharks converge on the guy simultaneously. Probably saved the guys bacon cuz the one shark had the guy lined up, and the shark from the other direction made the first miss. Shark two got him by the hand, lost a coupla fingers as I recall. Anyone have a link to that footage, I can't find it anymore. Can't remember but I think it was Norcal. _________________ Kite Repair?

In low visibility water, a shark may mistake you for prey.        Northwest Kiteboarding -> Gorge / Portland / Oregon Coast All times are GMT - 8 Hours Page 1, 2  Next Page 1 of 2   Jump to: Select a forum Northwest Kiteboarding Discussion Forum----------------Gorge / Portland / Oregon CoastFor SaleLost & FoundIndustry SoapboxCGKA  You cannot post new topics in this forum You cannot reply to topics in this forum You cannot edit your posts in this forum You cannot delete your posts in this forum You cannot vote in polls in this forum You can attach files in this forum You can download files in this forum
