If I’m not mistaken this is the time of year when the Great Whites are migrating along the California coast.
The coast is really sharky right now, despite the fact that the MSM has been downplaying all the sitings as hoaxes. They even suggested the local surfers made up the story to keep their favorite spots to themselves.

LOL! Waiting for the first commenter to mention “We’re gonna need a bigger boat”...
I used to go surfing in the early morning in the late eighties until I was sitting outside alone and saw something dark, about ten feet long pass under me. I caught the next wave for the last ride of my life.

Awesome! Thanks loads!
All due respect to the victim but I’m going to take this as a good sign for San Jose’s matchup against Dallas tonight.
Being attacked by a bear, lion or other beast on land is bad but at least a person is on dry land in the human domain.
Spooky.
When the sea lions start getting out of the water it's a good clue that you should too.
You think there will be a lawsuit brought against MSM? Yeah right! Even though it would serve them right it’s never gonna happen. However I’m absolutely sure that the “other” sharks, the ones in Armani suits, will be trying their hardest by swimming around this one...it is a sad story and I hope the chap did not suffer...
NEVER EVER swim at dawn or dusk. It is when the bait fish run and bigger fish eat!
“Being attacked by a bear, lion or other beast on land is bad but at least a person is on dry land in the human domain.”
More people are killed by falling coconuts than by sharks. When faced with a grizzly or a great white your chances are pretty much the same.
From the article
"His whole lower body—wetsuit, legs—were shredded".........(snip)
"I talked to another gentleman who was walking up the beach actually before it happened. It turned out he had walked up the beach and saw a sea lion on the beach that looked very distressed."
Bet the shark chased the Sea Lion up onto the beach, then mistook the swimmer of the prey
He disagreed with something that ate him.
His whole lower body—wetsuit, legs—were shredded. I asked the Captain of the Lifeguards what he thinks happened and he said a "very, very large shark" attacked.
Just heard the story on the radio while listening to Rush. Beaches closed. They should have been closed weeks ago.
Nancy Pelosi’s next of kin???? The open mouth and jaws look very familiar.
