    Yeah, have to go with stupid.

    "Let me go out on my surf board and film two sharks that may be hungry...."

    Same as...

    "That object looks very sharp. I should stick it in my eye to find out though."

    Holy shit!! This gets me wondering how many times I had great whites circling me when I used to surf California's central coast for ten years. You wouldnt even know their down there unless they bite. Scary.

    Done it. Really, we're not what they're interested in. Driving to the beach was probably more dangerous.

    I'm guessing this guy isnt some sort of marine biologist with a know how in shark behaviour.

    Nice footage, but kinda tempting fate there.

    I reckon he was using one of those cameras that make things look 100x bigger, that shark is about 2inches long...
    Do not ask me for a source check.

    He probably just put a sign on the bottom of his board reading "Not a seal." So he should be fine.

    Good point. Lucky sharks dont like the taste of humans or Im sure there would be a LOT more shark attacks. Actually there are very few but it's a good media story.

    I have seen a couple sharks while diving. They never seem interested LUCKILY....

    I heard that Great Whites dont like the taste of human flesh as well, that being said, being "tasted" by a Great White is nowhere near as gentle as people probably think.

    I just dont feel sorry for people who purposely f*ck with nature and get eaten, bitten, or kicked. A perfect example of this is the crocodile hunter, he f*cked with animals and eventually it caught up with him. He didnt just relocate them and help them, he antagonized the shit out of them for the camera, then got stung one day and died. Oh darn, boo hoo

    to be fair, he was using a 10ft long pole, and its a standing board so longer and wider than a regular surfboard plus he's standing up. Still stupid.

    The odds of this guy being attacked by those baby sharks were low; as someone said probably more dangerous driving out to the beach.

    And Steve Irwin died doing what he loved doing man. I'd rather go out like that than live a boring sheltered life wishing I was out there living it.
