YIKES!



I am sure that most of you have heard of the tragic death of a local San Diego man whom was an accomplished ocean athlete - surfing, swimming, diving, fishing, triathlons.

This is the first confirmed Great White attack in San Diego in almost 50 years and our thoughts go out to the entire Martin Family for their loss. While we don't know Mr. Martin, as surfers we have a tremendous amount of respect for those that have an equal appreciation for the ocean and from the media reports he sounds like a pretty cool guy!

White sharks travel substantial distances from Alaska to Baja Mexico and I would venture to guess this female shark is long gone. (I hope...) In the meantime I snapped this picture from the beach on Saturday....
