I have a question to put out to the Swaylocks community.
Yesterday, a couple of friends and I went out for a Kitesurf wave session at a local spot (Atas.Beach in Morro Bay). I had only been out a few minutes when another kiter ( who we didn't know) yelled Shark and we all got out. I went & spoke with the guy & he said he saw a 12' gw punch through the wave about 20 yards away from him. I was probably 50 or 75 yards away & didn't see it. It was late enough in the day, that we all just packed it in.
The question is : What should I have done? I didn't see actually see the shark. There have been numerous sightings & one attack in the last few years - should I have reported it to the authorities so they could "post the beach"?
Right before I left, I did observe a guy go out & try to body surf there and was able to wave him in & let him know about it.
Apparently - no-one else reported it either because it wasn't in the morning news & ther were no signs posted at the beach this morning.
