Daniel True, 19, went out for a surf Friday (September 2, 2011) at Florida’s Shark Bite Bay Ponce de Leon Inlet and was in four feet of water when felt something hit his let.
Officials say True made it back to shore and received medical attention. He then drove himself to the hospital where he got 34 stitches.
Hurricanes really seem to bring out the sharks. . . or is it the surfers?

Seal Beach, California’s Inflight Surf and Sail owners got pepper sprayed on Tuesday, August 29, 2011 by a woman who returned to the store to retrieve her purse after reportedly stealing clothes from the shop, according to a story in the OC Register.
When Inflight owner Missy Scarbrough told the woman she could get her purse back when the police arrived, supect Arlene Bremner pulled out a can of pepper spray.
Missy Scarbrough said she was sprayed first, at which point her daughter ran to the second floor of the store to get Scott Scarbrough, who fought to subdue Bremner. She said the contents of the purse, including a knife, fell out as Bremner tried to get to a second can of spray.. . . “They were wrestling and everything was falling off the walls,” Scarbrough said. “My husband is pretty tall, but she was picking him up and putting up a good fight. She was very small and petite but superhuman yesterday.”
Bremner is now being charted on multiple felony counts of burglary, plus “using tear gas weapons while committing a crime.” We’re just glad the Scarbroughs are all okay. Nice work, Scott.

Florida, Florida, Florida. Add Shane Lancaster, 19, of Keystone Heights to the list of surfers bitten by a shark while surfing Florida’s sunny beaches.
“The water was probably up to my belly button and I slid off my board. And as soon as my foot hit the sand, (the shark) grabbed ahold real quick and it was gone,” Lancaster said. . . “It wasn’t like I was screaming,” he said of the pain. “It was scary and shocking, that’s all.”
After a trip to the hospital and some stitches Lancaster was back home and feeling okay.

Depending on how you look at it, Andrew Keel’s Motocrossboard is either either a two-wheeled, motorized, dirtboard or a very small, light motorcycle that you stand on sideways. Either way it appears to be another strange way to roll through the woods standing sideways.
