yeah, I saw a pretty meaty fin at OB yesterday. provided an awful lot more incentive to nail my jibes.

didn't get a good enough look at it tho. either way, after this thread, it freaked me out.

Not to say, what you saw, and Gabe prior, I and others saw dolphin and porpoise at OB yesterday at Sloat.

yeah, this was at beach chalet, but it was likely the same thing. bigger than your average harbor porpoise, but ANY fin is enough to get my heart rate up.

Looks to me La Nina this fall/winter.
Another way to look at this, is Tursiops truncatus/bottlenose dolphin/aka Flipper. One of most repetitive memorable experiences, during warm water events they come in close to shore, what I've done in past is to stop, kite high and wait, they usually check you out, and then when you're on a plane they ride so near and under your board, you can't believe it and they look you eye to eye.

I see dolphins at OB all the time. What I'm talking about recently may not be a shark but it is definitely not a dolphin...

I saw a 900 lbs or so Sea Lion pop out of the water with a 20 lbs Salmon in his mouth under the GGB last week, that was something else! Discovery Channel shit right in the city!

If you see a shark, you probably did. It's the ones you don't see that are the problem! I saw one in Manzanita, OR this summer but it didn't phase me. After surfing the CA coast for years, I've seen my share of sharks, whales, dolphins, and BIG seals that scared the sh*t out of me. Sharks? Not to worry --Kooks? then worry!
