New Smyrna Sharks Get Three More

by The Editors on May 18, 2009

Those pesky Florida sharks are still at it in New Smyrna Beach, according to a story in the Orlando Sentinel.

This weekend saw three surfers bitten by sharks, at the main spot where this happens: the surf zone just south of the inlet in New Smyrna Beach. . . Two surfers were bitten 9 a.m. Saturday morning, within 10 minutes of each other, said Volusia County Beach Patrol Capt. Scott Petersohn. . . .A third surfer was bitten around 9:30 a.m. on Sunday at that same location, Petersohn.

We’ve said this before, but it seems shark bites are pretty high price to pay for Florida waves.

I was there at that time. Goes to show how far us Right Coasters will go to surf. Wouldn’t have it any other way.

why are people making a big deal out of this? It was a nibble. I’ve probably gottn a worse bite from my yorkie.
