Twelve Foot Tiger Shark Closes Ho’okipa

by The Editors on February 23, 2010

Maui’s Ho’okipa Beach Park was closed for two hours yesterday after a 12-foot-long Tiger shark was spotted about 150 yards from the break according to a story in the Honolulu Advertiser.

Ho’okipa, a popular surfing spot, was closed from 11:30 a.m. to 1:30 p.m. for one mile both north and south of the surfing reef. . . The beach park remained open. . . Warning signs were posted in the area, and no injuries were reported.

Wonder if it was the same one Mark Healey spotted earlier this month?
