surfing shark

by Mander
(P.S.L., Fl.)

I am a female and have been surfing for many years, I live in Florida, beautiful, sunny, small waved Florida! =]. The first time I ever saw a shark was probably the best day of everyone else in the waters life. I remember seeing it in the wave, like a movie, and immediately start paddleing, I actually caught the wave, stood up, and screamed "SHARK" the entire way to shore.

My friend on the other hand, was like Jesus walking on water, by the time I stood up and looked forwards towards the shore he was already there, everyone else in the water did not move and laughed hysterically, apparently it was a non aggressive spinner shark, and apparently they eat small bait.

I now can tell the difference between many different species of sharks.
