Wow, the lifeguard(s) gave you that shot?!?

 I often talk with the guards about sharks,

but a, well, fat chance of them giving this ugly, ol' bastard a bitchin' shot like that, hahaha!

You must be 1 hot lookin' gal or are ya datin' 1 of the guards?

Kidding, just kidding!

 

Gosh, I wish that you had photographed it, and had the original,

because if ya personally show me yours, I'll show ya mine,

which f**kin' JUMP!

 

Anyways, hope ya have a good one,

RW

 

 

PS-Hey Birdie,

have ya sent that same photo to any of the local GWS researchers yet?

Such as Dr. Lowe of the Shark Lab, Dr. Winkler of the Monterey Bay Rapid Response Team?

I've shot photo's of both of these guys out taggin' the lil' ones offshore from Sunset.

Or have ya forwarded it to Ralph Collier of The Shark Research Committee?

I'd be curious to hear their response about the dorsal fin...

Peace, RW

 

There's a few different crews that surf either the stairway area or the point entranceway before work and as their busy schedules permit, some pretty cool people...

Get out there often enough and you'll become part of the regular crew too, I often see so many fun waves go unridden at the crack of dawn here, unless the weatherman or the surf reports have been forecastin' a mega swell, then it's packed at the cod.

Flip side of that is you can score many a good sesh very early as a megaswell dies down after a few days, everyone has gotten surfed out and most won't crack it at dawn on the 4th or 5th, last day of a pumpin' swell...

Have fun,

RW

 

 

Cool shot, did you shoot the shot?

If so, did ya do so from a helicopter?

I had not seen this 1 before, was it shot in 2011?

Suprised it was not on the Shark Research Committee's website,

for it looks similiar to other I've seen Ralph Collier post there from his friends who fly helicopters...

 

I'd like to see a wide angle copy of the shot, was it close to shore?

And also a zoomed in copy of the shot, to better see the dorsal fin better.

Have any scientists seen this and talked about it wth you?

 

 

 

 

 

This shot was taken at sunset - off tower 4 - in late September of a 9' GWS. Note the dorsal fin, which seems to have been torn into 3 sections. One of the pups that was tagged a few years back? They need to seriously improve their tagging methods.
