The lifeguards said that the Great White was a baby, measuring about 5 feet in length. Many swimmers weren't phased and still jumped in the water because it was a baby. I don't know about you, but I'd still be scared for my life if I was approached by a 5 foot baby Great White in the water!

I've almost forgotten about the shark sightings caught on video by stand up paddler Chuck Patterson last year in San Onofre. Now that I'm reminded that we share the ocean with these large, man-chewing creatures, I hope it doesn't effect my confidence in jumping into the surf, especially at Dog Patch. I know I shouldn't be naive about sharks being in the water. But I'm better off not knowing information regarding how close sharks really are to me while I'm surfing.
