On Tuesday night (October 26, 2010) a group of surfers in the lineup at San Clemente, California’s Riviera Beach saw a small great white shark jump out of the water just outside the line up, according to a story in the Orange County Register.
About half of the 10 or so surfers in the lineup left the water, said Dave Schulte, a veteran surfer and former pro surf-contest judge who had just finished surfing at Riviera Beach when the shark, maybe 6 feet long, was sighted at about 6 p.m. Tuesday. . . Schulte was heading for his car when a young surfer came up to say a shark had just breeched. Schulte said he watched the water for 15 minutes “and all of a sudden it jumped again. We’re talking maybe 75 yards off the beach.”
We liked it better when the great whites stayed way, way off shore and kept their heads down.
