When I think of the many times I used to just lay on a surf board relaxing, so far away from the shore..just bobbing up and down not even taking death seriously at all. How.

[@Spooky_515]

How many of those times death could have been but mere feet beneath you! I’ve had the same though when thinking back to swimming in the ocean

"boating accident" they used that line in Jaws too

[@Decembirth]

It seems sharks have taught themselves to hunt for surfboards because they know what's on them.

I remember seeing an interview on good morning America with a kid who saw a great white take his friend and he said the same thing. A huge great white as silent as a ninja came and took his buddy and was gone without a sound.

When my daughter was 12 years old, we visited Hawaii. She wanted to try surfing . I got her a teacher and off she went. She swore she got bumped by a shark , I didn’t really believe her. Thought it was just a12 year olds imagination. After watching these videos I’m second guessing myself. Maybe she was a lucky girl 👧🏼.

I agree , I can’t think of anything more terrifying than being taken away by a huge shark , a swim in the ocean isn’t worth it in my opinion

Why never a bull shark in Hawaii? It's always tigers. It must be their corporate headquarters.

[@dabbinrainbowunicorn1853]

There is a lot of Honu(sea turtles) out there. A favorite of the tiger. Tigers were my biggest fear whenever I would see one whilst snorkeling. Never saw any tigers though

[@idcidk69420]

Bulls like freshwater for breeding and safety, Tigers/Whites are like 1/3 to 1/2 bigger than bulls on average. Also Hawaii is way off in the middle of the pacific and my understanding is they don't do well like 100m+ from shore

[@SharksHappen]

I dont think bulls are over there. I have to check but California and Hi seem to lack bull sharks.

"That's what keeps me out of saltwater!" Lol..I agree Hal! After living in Florida for 30 years going to college in Tallahassee, living in New Orleans for a year whenever I run next to a flooded creek in California now I remember how sweet it is that a gator isn't going to pop out at me! Encountered wild boar & turned around, a bob cat & a mountain lion but all were in front of me none stalking me so the beauty is you stop, walk backwards then turn around. Predatory animals on land leave you pretty much alone if you keep your space...how many times I did snorkel boats & dive boats twice 9 miles offshore in the Keys. I'm never going back in the saltwater again!!!

[@tidusjecht9143]

Boats don't eat their victims.

[@brianhaynes6718]

Bronze Whalers are kind of spooky.

[@joshuagann8026]

Agree. You can almost guarantee some of the bull and White attacks reported were actually large bronze whalers

[@matthewotis3594]

I can't name many that are not spooky. If any.

[@Scoondog]

Kinda hell

[@joshuagann8026]

Right. I bet some of the attacks attributed to bulls and whites have been bronze whalers just misidentified.

[@aaaaaaasdee]

The way such a huge animal can sneak up on you is the scariest part about sharks for me. Great whites know which direction humans are facing too and will approach you from behind and from the direction the sun is shining so you're looking into glare. I had a large white pointer swim right by me and I had absolutely no idea it was there until I felt water moving by my leg and looked down.

[@Wynne-oz2ws]

Yeah, I had a short fin mako I think brought in by a tropical cyclone , in shallower water than usual, it did that same thing , used the glare to investigate me . .they are super clever. .

hey, love, your channel and know you wanna always be as accurate as possible. I’m an emergency physician, and the interesting thing about exsanguination is that it is even more dangerous to have a large femoral vein injury than an arterial injury. The arteries can spasm, constrict and clot-the veins are just flabby bags of blood that hold 70% of your blood volume keep up the good work

[@Ironink]

Hal, is it possible sharks see surfboards and the surfers paddling as small sharks? The shape of the board, the surfer paddling could look like fins. As you’ve said a lot of these chomp and goes are usually real estate defence, but every now and then a shark will predate as if saying to the “ surfboard sharks “ this is what will happen to you if I see anymore of you in my water. In your opinion, is this a reasonable theory?

[@SharksHappen]

Problem is the shallow waters most surfers are in. Surfboards unlike kayaks are usually hit from the side and the view of a surfer on a surfboard just below water level looks like no animal i have ever seen in the water other than a human on a board.

[@Ironink]

@@SharksHappen Thank, Hal. I had to it run by you. Back to do a rethink. Not overthink it ( that’s when problems happen ) in a perfect world, Spock could do a mind meld with a bull and the answer would probably be “ because we can “ You should do a poster of Spock and a shark. Not sure about trademark infringement, but I would buy a bunch and give them as gifts. Or just a great white on a mug saying, because I can. X-mas is coming, Hal. I tried to buy last year, but you had nothing. Understandable with everything else that was going on.

We were wade fishing once and my brother was putting a mullet on his hook. A wave rolled up over his chest and as soon as his hand with the mullet went under the water a shark grabbed the mullet and his hand. Cut him up pretty good but no loss of fingers or serious bleeding. That was the last time we wade fished. Its strictly on the boat now or kayaks.
