Shark Odds

This article is dead-right when it comes to the paranoia about scary sharks in the water. I mean, the odds of shark attacks are astronomical, even in "shark inhabited" waters (diver.net says the odds are 1.8 million to 1 against!). I think you're more likely to drown by bashing your own head on your board, if you're sloppy.

I suppose if you had an open wound and paddled around for hours dripping blood into the ocean you might attract some, but as long as you don't act like 150 pounds of live bait, you'll never even see a shark in your lifetime.
