We then met Ben on the beach; I made a few pictures of him and his bitten surfboard, quite impressive experience. We did not get into the water that day, but the next day one of my friends went into the water at wategos thinking the calm long board friendly waves and water would be safe. Around 9am he and other surfers saw a large shark of at least 2,5m long cruising in between them… His reaction was: "shark in the water" and they all cleared the area. Hearing the story 15´later, I went to the beach to try to spot the shark from the track towards the lighthouse, but I did not see anything. Some new surfers some very young were getting again into the waters...
