Do sharks cause me concern? Yes.
Does it stop me from doing what I love? No.
To be safe, I've written "Not A Seal" on the bottom of all my boards.
In Spanish, too, for those trips south of the border.
i don't surf, but have SCUBA-dived all my life. never let them worry me either. in case they can't read, i had a shark totem tattooed on my shoulder to let them know i won't eat them if they don't eat me!
a lot is common sense...i used to spear-fish; never drag bloody fish around in a catch bag with you, throw it on the boat. and don't for christs sake keep it in your hand! a girl in bahamas lost her hand that way to a reef shark.
