A spot I used to surf in California everyday always had sea lions. One morning things felt weird so I went in early. That same day a big great white was spotted near that spot. Then I realized there were no sea lions out that morning. I guess they saw the shark and got out of the water. I was the only thing out on the water that morning in prime shark feeding time. It freaked me out so bad I did not go surfing again for almost a week.

If that shark wanted to eat me I would have been eaten and there would have been nobody around to help me. So much for that sharks think surfers look like sea lions. They are way smarter than that in my have been on the dinner plate opinion.
