Sharnado at Home Break -- SanO

Lee - 10-27-2022 at 10:51 AM

A swimmer bitten at Church's, sharks jumping at Old Mans. Home break since the 60s. I've seen panicked surfers paddling for shore sure they saw a great white. Coast Guard flying over clearing the water. Water clears for 20-30 minutes and paddle out again.

Cool photo! In the 70s I used to surf there alot on south swells. Never saw a shark.
It seems now that they are quite common. I guess that whale carcas may have started it?

Slight subject change:
I'm out @ Alai Wai @ Waikiki looking @ the beautiful panorama and a Sea Turtle is floating nearby. Local surfer see's it too and he starts paddling away from a good spot on the reef. He looks @ me and says; Tiger Sharks favorite food:o
