[QUOTE="MovingZen, post: 14921184, member: 150540"] A couple years back I was on St. George Island with my son. He was playing in the break with a couple friends and I was less then thirty feet away chilling with my headphones on. I was so close because he was seven years old. Anyway, I'm sitting there and one kid comes running out of the water screaming, I can't hear him but I can tell he is upset. I'm watching his face and I read his lips "shark!" I look towards the other three and two of them are out of the water and running screaming. My son is the only one left, he's in maybe three feet of water. I'm starting to move now and right then a wave lifts up behind him and there's a 5-6 foot shark maybe two arm lengths away. My son sees it and gets the **** out of the water. Total time, less than 5 seconds. Luckily it was a nurse shark but the point is I was less than thirty feet away and didn't see the shark at all. Huge commotion and a ton of people come over and everybody is watching the shark in the surf. Local guy comes up and tells me he runs helicopter tours and says you couldn't pay him to get in the water. He said sharks are everywhere up and down the beach. It's probably the same at all beaches. Considering that, shark attacks are exceedingly rare. The boy has pretty much already forgotten about the shark and I don't remind him. I was pretty proud of him for getting back in the water later that day. I got circled by a hammerhead in the Keys and couldn't get back in the water till the next day. [/QUOTE]
