Question

Is the shark still out there

p.s

i need a new surfboard what kind should i buy with 800$

Answer 1

No matter where you surf, there will be sharks, you just will not see them. I have surfed all over the world, including wrightsville beach... which i love, and the only place that I saw a shark was in Floriday. I am from Hawaii, surfed 2-3 times a day and only saw them in Floriday so don't worry about what you hear because you are more likely to die of a bee sting. Anyways, $800 should buy you a brand new, name brand, surf board and wetsuit but whatever you get, do NOT buy an Action surfboard - the owner is a loser! A lot of people may not know this but there are a LOT of good surfers from wrightsville beach. Have you heard of Ben Bergious?

Good luck and have fun!

Answer 2

The shark is probably still out there, but if you are a surfer then you should know what water conditions you should be wary of. If the water is murky or choppy, best bet is to stay out of the water. I know of the shark attack you are talking about. Thank goodness it was only the lady's leg that got tore up. But in the Jacksonville newspaper, it said that you have a better chance of winning the lottery than getting attacked by a shark.

Answer 3

What do you mean resolved?

There is pretty much no chance that someone can go out there and kill the shark that did the attack. If you read thru the accounts of shark attacks, the shark usually is never caught. The times that it is caught is usually not thru an effort to find it but rather a fisherman who caught a shark and discovered human remains in its digestive system.

So to answer you question, I would bet that the shark is still out there and even if it is not there are plenty of other sharks in the water. However, the chance of you getting attacked are pretty remote. Do not support killing sharks because a few people are attacked by them.

Very very in some situations. the super sharks to blame for many individuals of the deadly assaults on human beings (large whites, tigers) are those which prey on super air-respiration animals mutually with dolphins, seals and turtles. those sharks' familiar looking tactic is to ambush their prey from below, chew it and permit it bleed out, then dismember it as quickly as that's too at risk of flee. So swimmers, snorkellers and surfers are rather at extra effective danger than divers, because of the fact that they stay on the exterior each and every of the time, making it extra possibly that the shark will mistake them for prey. the main deadly element of a dive in terms of shark assault is the time spent on the exterior, beforehand and after the dive. yet i could emphasise that, even for swimming and surfing, the actual danger of suffering a shark assault is quite low--inspite of the extensive numbers of individuals who bypass into the water at a worldwide point, sharks kill fewer human beings per 12 months than e.g. falling coconuts! the only reason that everybody thinks of sharks is that the mass media has a tendency to glom onto each and every (uncommon) assault, because of the fact they are extra 'newsworthy' (in spite of each and everything, 'guy killed by potential of falling coconut' does not have rather the comparable ring as 'guy savaged by potential of shark'). the appropriate thank you to steer clear of even that small danger is easy--do no longer bypass interior the water in areas frequented by potential of those super shark species, e.g. close to turtle or dolphin migration routes, or seal colonies. And in case you go with to spearfish, carry your speared fish away out of your physique (e.g. in a bag slung under a floor buoy), and get them out of the water as quickly as feasible.
