This crap seems to be happening almost on a weekly basis lately.
Those buggers don't shy away from paddle boards, kayaks, or kiters.
MAUIWatch
SHARKWatch Update: MAUIWatch's Malika Dudley spoke with the woman who had a shark encounter yesterday fronting the Mana Kai Resort. No stranger to ocean activities, she's paddled the Molokai channel, done competitions in Tahiti, dives and has been around other types of sharks before. She describes the shark she encountered as "aggressive" and a "beast" - the water was crystal clear that morning, lots of people enjoying the ocean. She said it came so quick, she saw it out of the corner of her eye. It rammed her board and she fell in the water. She thought "This is it. I'm going to die today." The shark then bit her board and started swimming toward her friend. Her friend screamed "The shark is over here, get on your board!" She got back on her board, yelled at her friend to get on her knees and started praying out loud, that's when the shark (which she describes as being bigger than her board, with distinguishable stripes) came back to ram her board again. She said she was in a state of shock. That's when two ladies, responding to their cries for help, paddled out toward them and, in her words, "they were big together" while paddling back to shore. She says the shark followed them all the way in. "I know I'll be back in the water, I just don't know when that is going to be. I feel sick to my stomach. My girlfriend saved my life and those two ladies are my heroes."
Background info:
The shark encounter occurred yesterday afternoon (2/9/14) a little after 1pm. DLNR closed the beaches from Ulua to Charley Young for 2 hours while Ocean Safety patrolled the area. The beaches were reopened a little after 3pm.
I completely agree. It is ridiculous when people go into nature and complain when nature shows up.tautologies wrote:Anyone that suggest we kill sharks because they are afraid should gtfo of the ocean. That playground really just isn't for you. May I suggest a lake or perhaps land kiting.
I dunno, like sharks paedo's are good at preying on the weak so probably knows what he's talking aboutHawaiis wrote:http://m.hawaiinewsnow.com/#!/newsDetail/24487638
