Re:sharks avoidance wisdom - 2009/03/24 19:07Recently saw a spot on T.V. where they were demonstrating a new dive suit that was made out of a material similar to Kevlar but lighter weight and designed to prevent shark bite penetration. This may be the way to go if they get this perfected and the price is within range.I have often thought about this and apparantly it is a reality.A surfers version would be very cool!

Re: Flying Sharks? - 2009/08/11 11:32Speaking of Sharks watched "Deep Blue Sea" on cable the other night ... helps to get messed up first.
Deep Blue Sea - As bad shark movies go this one was a pretty high budget production heralded as the best produced shark flick since Jaws. Perhaps that is true but only because all the others were so painfully bad. The story line has a group of genetically modified Mako/White sharks terrorizing the high seas out of the control of the secret underwater facility that produced them. The likes of Samuel Jackson help to push the movie along but sadly Jackson gets munched pretty early on leaving the remaining cast to stumble towards the inevitable demise of the facility and most of the staff. The movies' tough guy has the impressive habit of riding the sharks as they try to bite him which looks quite comical. There's a fair bit of suspense as the sharks sneak up to the occupants under water and the computer generated sharks are reasonably realistic. Worth a watch.

Re:sharks avoidance wisdom - 2009/08/12 01:28Just enjoy what you do life is uncertain. We could die slipping in the bathtub for all we know. There are more deaths at home by far than there are as far as surfers being eaten up by sharks. So I say try to smart and go out and surf. Me I'm screwed because I always go by myself it seems lol...
Keep surf, Autumn
