EXCLUSIVE!!! Shark Attacks Surfer at Surf Beach, Lompoc

I have been surfing the central coast for over 30 years. I have encountered numerous GW’s and only been bothered twice by them. I carry a 12″ bolo knife and if they do fuck with me. I kill them.

These beaches have always been considered fishing beaches. Has something changed? Is Vandenberg dumping, as they have in other waters? These beaches have always been beautiful to walk and watch sunsets…surfing? Hmmmm not so much.

well, There were 108 authenticated unprovoked shark attacks reported from the Pacific … in a black wetsuit and shared with Rehm a blue-and-yellow surf mat

Does anyone actually surf, at surf beach? I have NEVER seen anyone in the water so i'm not sure if it's wise for myself to test those waters

dude we can fix those dings

My buddy and I launched our boat at Gaviota to fish near Point Conception yesterday. I swear to god we saw the biggest shark I have ever seen. It was a great white at least 15 feet long and surfaced when i was bringing in a decent sized catch. It grabbed my catch when it was near the surface and the line snapped in all of 2 seconds. My friend shit in his pants. I’ve seen sharks along this stretch of coast before but never a GW.

Jesus………this is like a bad sitcom. Can’t it just dissapear into obscurity?

Hey this news is great for us real surfers! Helps thin the crowds……LMAO. The sharks have been there since the beginnings of surf and never been a real problem! YUK YUK YUK……LMAO!

Most surfers are gay anyway

with all that energy volunteer for Sea Shepherd or Green Peace
OR buy a case of bud light and go down with the ship

Hey mom – I am so with you on the Bud Light thing. Let’s go drain a six pack!!!!

dude your pissed… you are right too…especially about the kelp…
beat your wife or something or move to SF to study sharks if your swing that way…
remember it is a blog…
killing sharks IS wrong unless you wish to die too down the line
got get a bud light

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.
