Bears aint really that scary. But I wont go in the ocean, the furthest I go into the ocean is to wash my hands off after bating my hook when I am fishing......

For some reason I'm not scared of bears, I guess if I found myself between a momma grizzly and her cubs I would **** myself, but I just don't think about them. I grew up surfing though and once saw a 3 foot gray fin come out of the water so I guess thats why I fear sharks more.

i love the ocean but i am scared ****less of sharks too. I was in the ocean during the summer and i seen 3 brown fins or whatnot in the wave, i ran my ass off, but i believe they were just skates. I got out and walked down the beach and there were a bunch of sting rays close to the shore..

I've been shark fishing a few times, mostly for leopard sharks which are not really that scary, they only get about 5' long and dont have teeth. But I hooked a 7 gill and when I pulled it out of the water it started biting its own tail, and freaking out. That was pretty freaky.....

When we saw the fin, there was about 20 of us(and remember this central cal where the water is cold and there are lots of seals) No one said a word, everyone just turned around paddling for shore while making deals with God. Also, surfing Pismo Beach by the Pier they sahrk fish every night and pull all sorts of **** out of there. Mostly threshers and dog sharks but I still didn't like it.

I live no where near any salt water. So sharks aren't big on my list. Only thing in nature that would scare me would probably be a....siht nothing really. Nature just doesn't bother me too much

Pismo is cool, was a great place to grow up but I lived there my whole life and went to kindergarten and college within 20 minutes of each other. I miss surfing, my family and friends alot but am still glad I moved to Portland. I love it here.

I will, I was gonna try to make it November but now it looks like I'll have to wait till December for my 2 weeks off. I'll spend most of it with family, but I'll make down to LA for a weekend, it's just a little under 4 hours away.

You guys are scaring me. My daughter (#1) loves to surf. She would live in the ocean if it were possible. She also loves dophins. :) But the sharks and stingrays are another story. She was stung by a ray this summer.....then it got infected.

Been caught between a momma bear and her two cubs. In Yellowstone Park. I was just a kid, but I remember the momma going from car to car looking in the windows and my mom screaming and my dad yelling "take the picture, take the damn picture" She never did. LOL

Bull sharks can live in freshwater, but it is unlikely. I never worry about sharks when I'm in the ocean. Worrying doesn't do any good as far as keeping one away from you.

I used to put wax on my surboard called "shark repellent" and in little letters it said that if attacked by a shark you were entitle to a full refund for the price of the bar of wax which was 75 cents. I thought that was kind of funny.

We don't have too many sharks around here. Just the scattered dogfish and basking sharks. We do get a scattered hammerhead shark every now and then.
