Re: Where did you surf today ?
The Icebergs have a thing where you have to do so many swims every winter. Those in the know go early. They even throw blocks of ice in to make it colder. Slackers get the cold temps.

Of course they can swim more than 1km in 24 hours. Firstly though, if they are close they are more likely to blunder on you and they may take a bite just to check out what you are. I understand that they are also very inquisitive and have incredible senses of smell (following a urine trail for instance) and hearing so they may detect you and cruise on over and take that deadly inquisitive bite.alakaboo wrote: ↑Fri Aug 21, 2020 9:45 pmIf you think that a great white can't swim 1km in 24 hours I've got some bad news for you.

Oh, and that helicopter pilot who came across to warn me first sighted the great white about half a kilometre from me and said it was within 30m of me within about 5 to 10 minutes and heading straight for me. The helicopter was overhead with a crewman leaning out and obviously screaming at me and pointing to where the shark was. Those details were confirmed in the news reports.

This appears to confirm what we have long suspected: boomers are totally repellent

Re: Where did you surf today ?
They are not everywhere at all Legion, that's a gross exaggeration. On a sunny day they are quite easy to spot and we often have a shark patrol that does just that, plus public sightings and a web site that has that information (plus the whereabouts of the tagged sharks), so its easy to avoid surfing at a surf spot with a recent shark sighting.
The chances of being attacked are slim, and yeah, there'll be instances where sharks are not spotted, but I've had too many near misses so I'll continue a behaviour that reduces the risk of a shark attack.

Re: Where did you surf today ?
WA is pretty sharky by reputation. Apparently there's a bit of good surf around there lately.

Re: Where did you surf today ?
Yes, but during that time I don't see them reporting any close encounters, and if they do its headline news (as was my close encounter with a shark). I don't recall many (any?) other close encounters in the last 5 years or so. How do you reconcile that with your claim "they are regularly swimming past you"

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.

Two sessions out the farm today 3-4 foot . Not so crowded for once but both frustrating surfs with no designated take off zones . Still got some good waves in amongst the crap with the morning being better wind wise .

Re: Where did you surf today ?
So was I and a mate told me that only an hour or so before 8 it wasn`t even breaking . I only went there as a last resort , did a double take and suited up damn quick . I barely surf there anymore - it either has to a week day or a big day for me to think about going there .
Home was starting to get swell when I finished the arvo session at the farm so I`ll do dawn patrol tomorrow .
