"Is there a shark behind me!!!!!!",asked Jaron

Yes, that's right Jaron asked this question this past weekend to some surfers here at Pyramid Rock. He was out surfing and was relieved that he didn't get totally smashed by a big wave that had passed by and then he saw a dorsal fin about ten feet behind him. I am sure at this point he was trying not to hyperventilate and swim calmly toward shore, he decided to ask a few surfers in front of him if there was was shark behind him. When he heard the answer yes, he looked behind and saw not just one shark, but THREE Hammerhead Sharks (bigger then Jaron's board, so between 7-8 feet long) in the wave behind him. There was actually a body boarder out there in the crowd and immediately began to panic and swim as fast as he could toward shore, while the surfers tried to slowly and effectively give the sharks some space.

Ummm yeah...I know that this probably won't deter Jaron, but that would be a "no more surfing" moment for me. Glad that he was safe.
