GWS Tooth is Back!!

An officer from the Capitola Police Department delivered to my house on 7/14 my GWS tooth and Hobie Revo.
Based on the evidence and statements estimated length is between 14 to 16 feet, weight approximately 2,000 lbs.
I was told that it was not a full blown attack but to first find out if my kayak was suitable prey. Thank God!!

I used my Pentax WG-1 on Digital Microscope mode for the shot. I got it at Target and highly recommend it.

Awesome!  So glad you got your yak and souvenir back.  I was hoping you would get the tooth back.  You earned it!

 

very cool.  That tooth is definite not for a fairy

Wow, how cool is that! Heirloom!

Cool Mel!  Now you have your anting anting to make as a necklace.

Chad - Its still to be determined.  I am still waiting for CCK to get back with me.  It does have sentimental value.  Hobie can have CCK cut it up for recycling, let me keep it.  No definite word yet.

If it were mine I'd mount the nose of the kayak for wall hanging.

I'm glad it's all working out, Mel!  That is one hell of a souvenir.

good to read that you got YOUR tooth and YOUR yak back...did they put out an APB on that shark yet?     

That is some gnar-gnar stuff right there. Wow!

I am glad to hear that the yak & tooth were returned to you Mel.

It was spotted in Salinas by the CHP. 

I thought it was a white shark?
