Hey Chris when did you paddle around Point Conception. One of my friends use to manage the Cojo ranch and he said he once saw a guy paddle around Pt. Conception. He said if that person is crazy enough to do that, they deserve not to get in trouble for trespassing! So if that was you, PROPS!!!!

Gary, you are a first class faggot. Everything you say is suppose to sound macho, but is in fact ignorant crap. I hate people like you and would love to watch you being tortured. Brilliant idea to kill everything, then what would you eat you fat fuck?

I heard Obama is going to bail out great white sharks. They are too important to kill/die/be harpooned through the balls.

Have you ever surfed around point conception? There is abundant sea life and it is SCARY AS HELL.

I'd rather surf where there are more people and less great white sharks.

Point Conception is perhaps the most interesting fishing area in California. Below the point are the warmer waters of Southern California. The confluence warm and cold waters create a unique environment allowing for a huge variety of fishes and aquatic animals to live there.

I have surfed much of the Hollister and Bixby Ranch. In an act I will not be repeating, I paddled around Pt Conception, both ways, in order to surf Governments Point and Perkos. Frankly, paddling directly into the swell and wind on the return trip alone was a torturous journey. It’s disturbing to know there were unseen things beneath the surface to be concerned with also. Ah, the fearless ignorance of youth!

Saw a small 5 foot Leopard shark while surfing that day, but he was more disturbed by my presence than I was with him. To be fair, since I did this stunt before Hugh made his $100 offer, I will decline payment. To the superior aquanauts saying “kill em all” I suggest you personally engage in hand to fin combat, unarmed, whether that’s before or after the encounter. Ha Ha Ha

I say death to all sharks, period. Who cares if we upset the ecosystem? WE ARE THE MASTER BEINGS. Why is it OK for a shark to use his teeth to kill a human, but suddenly it’s NOT OK for me to use my mind to kill ALL sharks? It seems to me these kinds of rules are completely arbitrary and ANTI-DARWIN. Let the strongest and the smartest survive, and DAMN everything else. All hippies and shark lovers go to hell.

You guys are ridiculous, your assumptions and uneducated comments about Great White Sharks are ludicrous. They are an amazing, calculated, and cautious predator. They are not man eaters and spend 85% of their life’s in the open ocean. When they do swim along the surf line, it is to rest and absorb the high levels of oxygen that are churned up by the surf. A 16 foot animal can NOT SWIM IN A KELP FOREST, around yes. And if they really were a menace to the ocean they would NOT be protected and there would be far more attacks on people. The Great White Sharks on the North American Coast are the largest in the world, they EAT ELEPHANT SEALS, which are 2000 pound + pieces of fat, they do not eat boney pieces of s**t like you. I repeat if we were on their menu, there would be a lot more dead surfer, but magically there is not, I wonder why. Great White Sharks are a magnificent animals that command respect, much is still unknown about them, but there is a great deal we have researched and know, I will not explain any further on this forum for fear that it will fall on deaf ears. If you really do have a fear of sharks because of ignorance or fear from movies (same thing), I suggest learning to scuba dive and actually sticking your head underwater to see what is going on down there. See how depleted our oceans are from fishing and polluting and how scarce sharks really are. Take a trip to the Channel Islands and see for yourself. You will also see how humans have depleted and abused the oceans resources and how vulnerable the ecosystem is. We hold the balance of the ocean at our fingertips, with our decisions to recycle or litter, to eat fish from dredge net fishermen, and to dump our waste in the ocean. Finally if I ever see someone hunting a Great White Shark, I can promise I will do the same to you.

This looks like fun – let’s pile it on.

Chris-tina,

Please refrain from:

a.) assuming that the picture represents the encounter we’re describing in the article – we’re using the picture for illustrative purposes, to demonstrate in a re-creative fashion what purportedly occurred with this specific incident.

b.) trying to sound intelligent, using big words, or making assumptions – it won’t give you any credibility.

Thanks for reading!

Cheers,

Dear Chris:

Please refrain from posting when you do not command an elementary ablilty to spell such words like “hearsay”. I bet you have experienced a lot of self-fulfilling disappointment in your life. You sure seem like one of those “the glass is half empty” types of guys. Cheer up you miserable sack of dog shit!
