yeah, with a clean wetsuit
yeah you right. The family has been clinging to the Discovery channel this week for shark week thought it fit.
Anything bigger than me in the water makes me uncomfortable especially the meat eating ones 
and wings at BWW, everyone is invited, I will be there a little after 6:30pm
well didn`t want to wet suit---wet blanket but that there pics is an air breather know today as a dolphin or porpoise can`t see the teeth to really tell i lean toward a dolphin never seen a shark with a horizontal tail. not a problem on a board but if body surfing can give ya a moment if you bump into each other that being the moment you might want to break out drop your beaver tail so as to clean your suit before hit-in the beach !yeah, with a clean wetsuit
can always blame the COLD water on the color of your skin

Blacktip shark snapped in photo of surfer off New Smyrna Beach, Florida
Florida An amateur photographer captured by chance an image of a 6ft blacktip “spinner” shark leaping from the waves as he took pictures of fellow surfers.
Kem McNair, who had finished surfing at New Smyrna Beach, Florida, before taking three images of the shark, shot in under a second, said: “I saw something in the background and I thought, 'What was that?'. I looked back at the display on my camera and there it was — a spinner shark.”
Blacktip sharks, known as spinners because of their habit of leaping out of the water, are common in the shallow coastal waters and estuaries of Florida. The majority of shark bites in the state are blamed on the species and New Smyrna beach is notorious for attacks, this year the toll has already reached twelve.
"We see them all the time," says McNair of the 6ft specimen he captured on film, " if you ride a wave and the water is clear you may see two or three sharks in the length of one ride… But not everyone has a photo of the event this this, that's for sure."

We catch a lot of those in the Gulf. They jump out of the water and spin super fast (like 20 to 30 spins per jump). Most people hit them with the fish bat, kill them, and then remove the hook. I cut the line and let them have the hook if they are too large to just throw in the boat and remove the hook. I never kill them. It is not uncommon to see 14 foot hammerhead sharks just cruising the surface. People catch them just to take a picture at the dock and then throw them in the water. There is no skill or challenge (sport) in this. Just plain dumb a** people. The Grand Isle Tarpon Rodeo was last weekend. We had several fish that would have placed first in some categories, but we refuse to be part of the oldest rodeo in the U.S. that has not changed the rules to catch and release for some fish categories. It makes me sick to see all of the fish they just throw in the bay after the rodeo is over. A huge waste and it shows the kids (our future anglers) that it is ok to kill just for the sake of a plastic and particle board trophy. I have watched several different fish species just disappear since the start of my career.
