Ain't Photoshop great!
That's a porpoise
Seen that before. Love that photo.
My wife and I lived in Honolulu for a year in the early 1990s. One day we're at Kailua Beach park, swimming around, the little shark-food turtles bobbing. We went home, and read in the afternoon that they'd caught a 16 foot tiger (stupidest, hungriest, least people skittish) off that beach.
After that, each time I'd go into the water I'd lose my ability to breathe.
That monster in the pic looks about, oh, 12. Imagine a THIRD bigger than that.
I don't know. Neurosis? Or is it acceptable that I don't want to be consumed by a prehistoric animal?
That is a porpoise, ot bottlenosed dolphin, not a shark.
When that big old tail came up I felt like fly and his tail was the swatter.
Good thing he didn't breech or anything to let me get my jollies off of his version of a belly flop.
It was way cool though. Totally memorable experience. How many people get to see humpbacks at 100 feet from a little foam board while floating in the ocean?
