From the San Francisco Chronicle, November 7, 2010
"John McCosker the chairman of aquatic biology at the California Academy of Sciences in San Francisco, has documented 103 great white sharks attacks on Humans in California and 12 fatalities since 1952...
Q. Was the recent attack unusual in any way? Are there any great white shark attacks that stand out for you as instructive?
A:
It certainly fits the pattern in terms of seasonal likelyhood, and the geographic location is on the southern end of the range for white shark attacks in California. Several attacks have been particularly instructive. Sharks usually target the shortest kayak or surfboard when two or more are in close proximity.

I am sure you see the part that I find distressing. For those of you not in this area, this guys credentials are about as good as it gets, he would not say something like that without the ability to back it up. Colloquially we are shark biscuits, but it's a little chilling to read it as scientific fact.

Time to start getting the bottoms of my boards coated with the infamous shark camo. Or... sticking to the warmer waters of the coastal Americas.
