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.

It's always been a risk, but shark attacks used to be very rare.  They've become more common as sharks have moved into shallower waters in search of prey.  Perhaps if we stopped overfishing their feeding grounds...

But then, ask yourself why people bungee jump or do anything else that's risky?

More people have died climbing mount Everest than have been eaten by sharks while surfing...
