Shark attack in San Luis Obispo, California

Shark news is re-upon us! This time we drift from consistent encounters in Oz and Reunion and into the waters of Central and  Southern California. Elinor Dempsey, 54, was out at Morro Strand Beach saturday morning when she saw something lurking beneath. “First I thought it was a dolphin and I thought: what the hell is he doing? ” Ms Dempsey told the San Luis Obispo Tribune. “He kind of landed on my board, then I realised he had taken a chunk. And I was like, that’s not what dolphins do.” Elinor’s fine, a new surfboard is in order and is now missing a 14-inch chunk. But the lovely gal was able to keep all her limbs. Officials closed the beach for 72 hours. “The bite may only be 30 percent of the actual jaw,” Ralph Collier the shark expert told the SLO Tribune. “You could be looking at an animal that’s 13-15 feet.” As opposed to the six foot juvenile grey suit that’s assumed to have attacked our dear Ms Dempsey. Wait, there’s more! In La Jolla, San Diego an aggressive hammerhead stocked a group of kayakers offshore. Is any coast safe? In order to avoid a shark attack, stay out of the ocean… Especially if it’s firing.
