Default Shark!!

I am an avid body surfer here in San Diego and I have to say I hate hearing of all these recent shark sightings at the local beaches. When I am in the water I'm always thinking of the possibility of sharks being only a few feet away. I never have the sense of feeling completely safe especially since I don't use a board and the fact that Great Whites are native to these waters doesn't make things any better. Anyways, here's a story/photo of a sighting (possible shark) at a beach I go to quite frequently.

I wouldn't worry about it. It's like 8 people/yr who die of shark attacks and most are in Australia, I think?

I heard that on the radio during shark week. They also said you were like 5X more likely to die from sexual asphyxiation. They recommended "sexual asphyxiation week" on TV instead.
