To everyone: do you pay to visit the beach in your country?

Don't think so, not unless it happened to me so young I don't remember it

Question for Beccs though, not aimed at you but just generally, why do all these people surf where they know damn well there's sharks?



That place where that surfer almost got gobbled the other day, apparently that's an area known for sharks, it's common there. So... why would you surf there? Maybe I'm a pussy but if I know there are sharks in that water I'm not going within 10 feet of it, God no, I value life too much thanks.

You surf where the swell's good. You'd understand if you were a surfer.

I've never been a very good surfer, so a couple of years ago after an old dude got eaten by a shark, and after I was body surfing and got pulled under by a rip, I got scared and stopped going in the ocean further than up to my collar bone. Real surfers live to surf.

I think I've just renamed it the "no true surfers" fallacy
