I was about 1 mile offshore surfing a giant swell in Mexico on the West Coast. All by myself. When I saw a huge hammerhead shark leap out of the water may be 150 feet from me. I was sure that he was underneath me and the next jump out of the water he would have me in his mouth. So I caught the next wave and frantically paddled into shore. Where I sat on the beach for 20 minutes deciding what to do. I thought man you travelled a long way from Texas. And wether you see them or not those big sharks are always there. I was a deep sea scuba diver and I always saw sharks on almost every dive. So I went back out and caught some waves. That was what I came there for.
I did that with my mate and a pack of bull sharks, when they came over interested. Thought the waves were too good to sit on the shore. As soon as I got out the back again, I got attacked. My recommendation is quite different to yours.
@@timsweeney6832 Yeah, they're the worst cause they lurk in all the murky waters you were worried about entering in the first place. Check out the story of Sarah Whiley for example. I heard that she was sitting on the beach without arms getting cranky at the people trying to help her, saying all she need was a 'lie down' and she'd be right. I have twice been attacked by bull sharks. The first time I was not even in the water. A huge one launched out of the water to pluck my mate and I off the rocks when we were fishing. Like seriously, as big as they get. It missed and went between us, then flipped all the way around me smashing me with its tail while I was on my knees, with massive gnashing teeth flying everywhere, until it got back in the sea. Since then, I never go more than ankle deep into the surf at night nor fish on the low rocks. When they come over to me on the rocks or in the boat in the day and start treading water, trembling like an excited dog, I pack up and go home. I have never swum in rivers unless it was above a dam I know they can't get over. I have been terrorised by great whites and once by a huge hammerhead as well. I wondered why nobody was out in the surf, and, thanking my good fortune, charged straight out there, One come over that was about 16 feet long and immediately started zipping around me in an agitated fashion. Thank god one of the clubbies came and rescued me on his jet ski. Anyone who pats sharks has not spent enough time in the water to know any better. They are so not to be messed with.
@@anarchistangler we used to rent a crew boat and go spearfishing. 100 miles offshore out of Grande Isle Louisiana. We would deep bounce dives off the bottom in 220 feet of water, underneath the oil rigs. It's beautiful out there the water is blue and clear and the giant grouper would hang out there on the bottom. So we would hold a heavy rock to take us down fast and shoot some grouper. People say I was a liar, because body does bounce dives at 220 feet. But we did, all the time. It makes my heart beat faster just thinking about it. But according to the US Navy dive tables you have 2 minutes of bottom time at 220 feet. So you got to take care of business and start the long trip up. I learned to dive with some guys from Louisiana. Little Nino would shoot big sharks. I saw him bring them back like it was no big deal.

I believe there are ZERO hammerhead attacks recorded . But we will pray for you.

@@anarchistangler I've read stories of bull sharks killing humans in rivers the attacks can occur in fresh water rivers over a mile from shore.
