The little funny story that goes along with the photo.....It was Matt & I's last day of surfing together over my Spring Break so we decided to head down to a more secluded beach to not compete with the weekend crowd. After being out for an hour or so, I was feeling great, enjoying the sun, and definitely wasn't ready to head back in. Usually Matt & I surf a few hundred yards or more apart so that we can each do our thing (me with my tumbling & falling) and Matt with his slicks turns on the waves. Anyways, as I was sitting there Matt yells, "paddle in" I was a little confused since normally we paddle in on our own accord. But I thought I saw a coast-guard like boat out in the distance & thought maybe he saw something I didn't. So as I slowly turned my board around, paddling in like I had all the time in the world, Matt exclaims again, "Paddle in!" I give in & pick up my speed. Once we were both on the shore & I walk towards Matt, I asked him what was the matter. Come to find out as he was out there in the ocean he saw a shadow, which he thought was kelp floating underneath him, but when he took a closer look & with the way the shadow 'flicked' its tail, he knew it was a shark! Crazy!! Matt thinks it was about 6-7 feet long....I wish I got to see it. =)
