GOLD BEACH - If he had wrapped his arms around the shark's head, Seth Mead said, he wouldn't have been able to touch his fingers together.

What would Patton do...?

Yeah I know: I've been branded a non-group person - doesn't play well with others. I am so upset. Let me know if you want to have some fun, without the drama - I'm good for that.

Again ... file this under "Natural Selection" - this guys was surfing, alone, at a spot known for sharks, next to a jetty that holds spawning salmon. Maybe it's just me....

Yeah, like that swimmer up in San Luis Obispo (Central Calif) last year, who saw the seals out in the water and decided to go out and play with them.... DUH!

Not a good idea to put on a wetsuit, swim with seals in shark feeding areas, and act like the slowest, clumsiest seal in the herd. :lmao:

Pissed the shark off, too. He was hoping for juicy seal blubber.
