Just got an email from one of my windsurf buddies and he said this happened to
him at Cabrillo.

"On June 16 Th., sailing to the Cabrillo shore about 300 yards, i
saw with my own eye a gray tail fish (fin) moving slowly, one and a half foot
above the water surface like in JAWS movies and it disappeared in a couple of
seconds . I was very scared thinking of a shark, but continued to sail with
every body. A couple of days later a big dead seal with a good size of bite
(could be a shark bite of one foot diameter) on its body washed in to the
shore".

Has anyone heard anything about this from the surf/dive community?

<there are no surf spots north of the Ranch so there are no sharks unitl you
get to Santa Cruz>
Hook
PP
<North of PP there are no surf spots except Ocean Beach and the Harbor Entrance
at Humbolt but the odd thing is that there are no sharks there>

I heard there was a shark in pacifica and Big Flat too.

They mostly hang out at the popular spots in SoCal. Weird, I know.

OK, It's a fact sharks are at all beaches, the diffrence is that this was a
big one at a beach that they are very rare. Not to mention a chewed dead seal
carcass. There have been a bunch of recent G.White sightings by divers around
S.CAL so maybe there is a migration going on or the resident G.W population at
Catalina is sightseeing. Last month I got my board bumped at Cabrillo while
windsurfing. Definitely wasn't kelp or floatsam and the bump was right in the
center of the board from below while I was in motion. It was dusk, the water
was black and I sure didn't hang around to investigate the cause.

the harbor entrance is a fluke, it's not a surf spot,
but if santa cruz is in the red triangle, humboldt is the
artery. as for big flat, well everyone knows about ben.

To my knowledge shark sitings at southern California beaches are very rare.
Then again no one knows what is out of sight under that water.

As a kid we went to Mission Bay in San Diego with the YMCA. Someone asked
about sharks, and the leaders assured us that sharks don't swim into bays.
After about ten minutes of swimming, a kid pulled a dead four foot shark onto
the sand.
