New Smyrna Beach, Florida’s Kem McNair was snapping some photos of the surf when he caught a shark jumping in the waves (if you can call them that) right behind two surfers.
“I had just come in from surfing, grabbed my camera and walked to the water line with my friend Skipper Eppelin,” McNair said. “I saw something in the background and I thought, ‘What was that?’ “I looked at the display on my camera and there it was – a spinner shark.”
Those waves just don’t look good enough to deal with those line-up lurkers. Click the link for more photos.

He was just a snowboarder from Summit County who used to ride with Steve Fisher, Chad Otterstrom, and Jeff Meyer.
Now, he’s a reality TV star with a new fiance, but Jesse Csincsak is just being himself, according to a story in the Summit Daily News.
“I didn’t have a natural talent for snowboarding,” he said. . . To make up for it, he said he was “the first guy up on the hill and the last one down.” . . He made his TV debut as a coach on the MTV “Made,” show in February, and soon after got the call from “The Bachelorette.”
Can you feel the love tonight?

It’s a sad story with a happy ending for three Australian surfers who finally surfed the wave they were searching for twenty years ago.
In October 1988, Tony Stubley, Mike Vanderfield, Scott Parker, Matt Lumsdaine and Scott Coppin flew to Lima from the United States, Mexico and Australia. Before going to ride the fabled wave, they set off for the Inca ruins of Machu Picchu and Lake Titicaca. . . . They never made it to Chicama. Their plane crashed high in the Andes on October 25, killing at least 17 people and seriously injuring scores of others, including most of the young Australians.

The manager of Super Spar in Jeffreys Bay has doubled his condom order this year after getting wiped out during last year’s Billabong Pro contest.
“They‘re definitely not only surfing,” he joked. Venter has had to double his order of supplies, in order to meet the demand of condoms during the surfing competition.
There is a lot of downtime during those competition holds.
