His name - His name was Docherty, from the Gold Coast. His dad taught at my school. On the Gold Coast, only 70km away, you hardly ever see a shark, but on the islands, you see them every time. Don't risk it for slop surf. Bring your mates and have a look-out.

Major Pussys - You guys that complain about sharks are wankers! Everytime your at abeach, in the ocean or surfing there are sharks. Any beach any time! Ask any shark expert it's just at island breaks there are more because there are major underwater channels that the sharks swim thourgh to get ut to sea!
