Surfer bitten by GW today on Cape Cod
« on: August 15, 2018, 03:36:29 PM »
A 61 year old surfer was bitten at Longnook Beach in Truro at 4:30 this afternoon.

He was airlifted shortly after rescued.

For some reason, I am not able to complete a post with pictures.

Nice look at probable suspect

Good.... uploading again!

Pretty desolate beach... he was lucky to be rescued!

Yeah, I know Pono.... but here it is again, in our playground.
Last year MrBig.... today this guy.

We'll all be surfing tomorrow, but one less in the water... and that's a bummer.
Hope he's back soon!
They said "Deep punctures"  but no idea where on the body he was bitten.

This was posted on FB 2 hours ago, by the pilot of the shark spotter plane.
This afternoon he saw 7 GW's, all within 1/2 mile of Nauset Beach... close to shore.

It really is getting stupid around here....
a Zoner was up in the plane and saw 20 GW's on 1 flight over Truro a few weeks ago.

Recent News Report is saying he was either standing or swimming and not a surfer, saying he was 30 yards off shore bitten in torso and thigh.

Creek, you and yours are brave to paddle out up there in the summer.

Spooky things lurking up the Chesapeake Bay also.   310lb Bull shark.  Certainly not as populated with beachgoers as the Cape, but I would not want to fall off my board in these murky waters.

I know what Creek is up to--uncrowded lineups. Get some posters made of shark bites and stick them all over the places you don't want company.
Foote 10'4X34", SIC 17.5 V1 hollow and an EPS one in Hood River. Foote 9'0" x 31", L41 8'8", 18' Speedboard, etc. etc.
