"We were surfing at Sunset around 10 AM or so yesterday, high tide was already coming in so the crowd had thinned out. There were about 5 other surfers within 30 yards of me, all of us  waiting between sets looking out between the buoy and porta potties. We had seen a couple dolphins cruising around earlier, but then out of nowhere, about  150 yards from the buoy, I saw a big grey and white something shoot straight up like a missile, completely out of the water and splash back down. I turned around and asked everyone “Did you SEE THAT!??” .The 4 people around all said yes and one of the shortboarders said “oh, yeah, that’s a juvenile white  shark.” with a nonchalant tone like “oh yeah, they serve seafood at Gladstones”. And of course, everyone went back to surfing. I didn’t believe all the reports about sharks breaching and even told my friends last month when we had seen a shark at Sunset this time about 50 yards inside of the buoy that “oh come on…the people who are supposedly seeing sharks breaching at Sunset are watching too much Discovery Channel!”. Guess that little whitey just proved me wrong."

2 things regarding sharks:

I’m pretty into reading these shark sighting reports from Sunset Beach in LA.

I always have weird dreams where I’m stuck at an incredibly large lagoon and have to get away from sharks.
