Looks like it’s taken his foot. Lighthouse Beach is as sharky as fuck.
A lot more than that according to the grapevine.

What? No road access to Garie?

The Cronulla and Garie beaches were my goto surf spots!

My mate works for NPWS there, reckons the locals have never had it so good- if you have an e-bike you can get around the road slip, they all have boards stashed down there. Epic!

I remember some wheelchair xylophonist getting all macho about how he liked to smash absolutely heaps of Weetbix before a hard day's roofing

They are small whaler sharks the ones you see jumping and spinning in the air down your way.

Shark comes face-to-face with surfer jumping off wave and bites him, Florida officials say BY IRENE WRIGHT SEPTEMBER 12, 2023 6:46 PM The surfer was bit on the face when he fell into the water, Florida officials told news outlets. Oleksandr Sushko via Unplash A surfer off New Smyrna Beach was bitten on the face by a shark, Florida officials told news outlets. The surfer, a 38-year-old man from South Carolina, was in the inlet of the beach just before 8 a.m. on Sept. 12 when it occurred, WESH reported. As the surfer was jumping off a wave, he came face-to-face with a shark, safety officials told WKMG. The shark, likely startled, bit the man on the face on his right cheek, leaving about a 2-inch laceration, the Daytona Beach News-Journal reported. Ron Robinson, a longtime surfer in the area, told WESH he saw sharks at the beach that morning. “Nine out of 10 times it’s because (the surfer will) fall in the shallow water, and they’ll spook the shark, and it’s a reaction bite,” Robinson told the outlet. The surfer was taken to the hospital and treated for non-life-threatening injuries, the Daytona Beach News-Journal reported. The incident marks the seventh shark bite at New Smyrna Beach this year, according to WKMG. The beach has gained notoriety as the “shark bite capital of the world,” brought on by the consistency and high number of negative interactions with sharks there. Florida leads the country in shark bites, according to the Florida Museum, and an average of nine bites occur at New Smyrna Beach alone each year. New Smyrna Beach is about 50 miles northeast of Orlando.

I still don't buy the "official" narrative about 9/11. Oh sure, it happened, fcuk yeah. But who and why and how I'm, not convinced it was what we've been told.

Just read it... most excellent. Lots of info, I'll need to read it a few more times.

My taxi for airport is overdue... 60 days, no sharks! Not a single surfer death by sharks in Indonesia ever!
