Title: Shark bite at Linda mar
Post by: Malibu_Two on October 14, 2023, 07:13:08 AM
Anyone else see this?
The bite on the guy's leg is so small that I wonder if it could have been a sea lion.

Might have been, I know two people that have been bitten by sea lions while surfing. Pretty rare but does happen.

Hope they don't get "seal finger" disease.

Linda Mar is a party wave, I don’t think the locals are that feral.

Reading comments on the article, many people mentioned seeing thresher sharks jumping clear out of the water during the last 2 weeks…

Searching online, I see things like threshers are "surprisingly timid around humans" and everything seems to say that they are not a threat.
