Flair gun? Nah….. what he needs is either a nice big fat capacitor or better yet a stun gun! Sharks are very sensitive and hate electric currents.

I’ve seen this picture in an email 2 days ago. It’s funny how the good ones spread like wild fire.

Great white I guess. I've seen sharks up to about 9 feet long in Florida when I've been surfing- usually bull sharks. You need to watch those- they can be aggresive. Nurse sharks are very common, 6 feet long, and they like to sit on the bottom. They are only dangerous if you grab their tails...

NO I don't do that!

N!

The last time I was in Hawaii on Kauai, I had been paddling around a bay in a kayak like that one. Then I walked around the edge of the shore a few feet above the water line on the rocks, and spied a tiger shark about 6' long swimming around where I had been paddling. Though he was not so large he could have done some damage. In Hawaii though there are always sharks in the water, they seldom attack a human because there is so much food for them in the water.
