Imagine if skiers had to share the ideal mountain trails with polar bears of some other wicked dangerous predators? You can avoid stuff like avalanches and still get to enjoy the sport quite a bit. I guess we're getting a taste of what Australia has dealt with all along with regard to surfing and beach fun.
Go that way really REALLY fast. If something gets in your way, TURN!

Like airbag packs for skiing someday they should have suits or boards that emit an electrical charge to repel sharks. Just have to remember to charge up your wet suit before heading out.

They've come up with devices in the past that was supposed to ward off sharks.

It is time to re ignite the debate about whether or not pissing in the water/wet-suit attracts sharks, repels sharks, or makes no difference??

I'm more surprised on how nice that beach is there. Had no idea cape Cod was like that.

outer cape is magnificent. Look up monomoy in chatham, great kitesurfing despite whitey. The Comber is pretty cool but riddled with tourists all summer. Donovan Frankenreiter has played there, year after year, Dick Dale, too. You see the stickers everywhere and t shirts, people thinking they're cool, like a black dog shirt.

As a parent I can't imagine sending my kid out into the surf to play on the cape now. We go to Maine. Water on the Maine coast is too cold for GWs, understanding that they have a basic heat exchange system and can tollorate colder water than most sharks. Any sightings ever as far up as say the 5 islands/Bath area? Never heard of one.
The proximity of the gulf stream to the coast up to, and just past the cape brings in the big girls....even up on Nova Scotia.

They wander up here, but never heard of them in close to the shore.

When I was in H.S. we were sailing across the Gulf of Maine towards Isle a Haut. We were on a 35 footer. A 15 to 20 foot GW swam up next to the boat. She swam under the boat. Then she followed us for about 10 minutes. We were about an hour outside the canal. She. Was. Massive. My neck hair stands up juts typing this. On another trip from Charleston SC to Stonnington Ct on a 60 footer we watched white sharks smash tuna on the surface like a trout hitting a grasshopper. If you've never been in the Gulf Stream, it's wild out there. Even a big Sailboat seems pretty freaking small.

You won’t see me in those waters. Especially with a wetsuit on. That’s hubris.
