One of the many freaky things about this fish (it seems so dismissing to call it that), is that they have good eyesight. In fact, they will sometimes poke their heads above water to get a good look around (that's quite possibly what this particular bloke is up to). I don't know what would be freakier: 1) being attacked from below with no warning, or 2) looking over from your surfboard to see one watching you, then the attack.
But Californians needn't worry too much, despite the presence of the Red Triangle. As of 2004, since 1950 there have only been 10 confirmed fatal great white shark attacks on humans off the Golden State's coast.
Thanks for the link, Sylvan.

Ugly? Nah. Gonna give me nightmares? Completely and totally.
ReplyDeleteword verification: iurcqlps. I think that's the sound a person makes as this shark pulls them under.
You've forgotten the third (and possibly saddest) alternative, RW...the shark looks at you and decides it isn't *that* hungry and swims away. Talk about rejection!
