Re: Jeffreys Bay Pro 2015
What's the deal with the sharknado going down on the far nc? It's winter time and I've always felt less concerned when surfing at this time than on an overcast February afternoon? Has someone been selling 4/3 steamers to these beasties?
Re: Jeffreys Bay Pro 2015
I can still feel super warm currents in the water. Have done all winter.

Not just catching a sneaky downstream piss from the crowd?

Yeah, I can imagine. I have always kinda loved the idea of the times I might share surfing with my kids but lately I am wondering if my protective instinct might take the fun out of it a bit. Rational or irrational, it's hard to ignore it.

Re: Jeffreys Bay Pro 2015
Well it's not irrational here. The risk is real.

Well yes of course, it seems that way.

Wow, you must be nervous to say the least.steve shearer wrote:MrMik wrote:What do you mean with getting buzzed by a shark?steve shearer wrote:My daughter and her friends got buzzed by a big shark Fri. All Ballina beaches closed today after multiple GWS sightings.
Passed them at close range. They all saw it. people on the beach saw it.
I managed to get my son on his board for the first time in at least half a year this weekend.
So today I decided to have a look at shark repellents and found Nicks little brother endorsing the Sharkshield. I wonder if that has anything to do with Nicks request to leave the shark stuff out of the Ask Carroll thread.
Anyhow, I ordered the Freedom7 Sharkshield. The Surf version is sold out, I wonder why....
The specs for Freedom7 and Surf seem to be the same, not sure why Freedom7 costs more. I hope this was not a mistake. I think I prefer the gizmo's attached to my leg, rather than the surfboard, but maybe that causes entanglement?
Can anyone here explain the differences between these devices from personal testing?
Re: Jeffreys Bay Pro 2015
And as soon as the money is spent, it becomes clear what the differemce must be: The Freedom7 is used with feet or whole body under water. The Surf7 allows operation with feet out of the water. Probably different placement or construction of one of the electrodes.

Re: Jeffreys Bay Pro 2015
I don't think anyone's suggesting the risk isn't real. There's also a risk of your children getting hit crossing the road tomorrow but do we stop them doing that. There's even a much larger risk of them dying in a car accident once they get their licence and they get into a car with a group of other young people. Do we stop them doing that?steve shearer wrote:Well it's not irrational here. The risk is real.
If you're child enjoys doing something and they get real life pleasure out of it why should we stop them?
But in saying all of the above there's not a chance in hell I'm going to be able to get my eldest son to surf now after he's watched that Mick Fanning attack numerous times. I'm not going to force my son to do it but for me it's a huge loss that I'll probably never surf with my son.
Re: Jeffreys Bay Pro 2015
My son couldn't give a fcuk about surfing and it has got nothing to do with sharks. Basically anything I steer him towards he pushes back in the opposite direction & so I figured a long time ago that it was never going to be a father/son activity in my house.
Re: Jeffreys Bay Pro 2015
So you offer the young fella some beer, dope, smack, crack, eccies and meth. Steer him away from drugs for life.Karlos wrote:My son couldn't give a fcuk about surfing and it has got nothing to do with sharks.

Send him down to me. He'll be knocking on peoples' doors preaching religion before you know it
What's the difference between Elizabeth Warren & Kamala Harris?
One's pretending to be an Indian & the others pretending she isn't!

Not that simple. Little fcuker would see right through it. Soccer fanatic and that was after three years of me coaching his rugby team. And because I hate the showboating side of the round ball game he goes out of his way to do ridiculous celebrations after scoring goals. Spends as much time on his hair as Christiano Ronaldo as well.
At least he doesn't flop like a typical soccer player. Yet.

Not stopping her Don, just a break for a little while until the frequency of sightings and encounters goes down to a more manageable level.

Have you applied the same strategy to yourself? Your're probably as important to her/them than she/they are to you

I think we just have to wait patiently for a word from their leader.The Mighty Sunbird wrote:Just because sharks can't talk to us doesn't mean that they can't speak to each other.
Maybe they are creating a shark caliphate.
What to do???

And in the meantime, prepare legislation to remove citizenship from any sharks who associate with this leader and his goddam shark caliphate.
