I've surfed for 26 years, but I gave it up about 9 months ago. I had a shark attack happen next to me in June of 2021 in NC and it slowly took a toll on my mental state in the water. Constantly waiting for something to bite me while sitting in the lineup. It's all good, I still love the beach, still love to ride my longboard down the road. But floating in the ocean aint for me anymore. Mad props to watermen like Tamayo, who devote their lives to the ocean in an awesome way. Such a sad story. Thanks for the video.

It was all over my news feed this morning. People who follow real news get the stories before the KZitem and gobbling goobers. Dude was a professional surfer, and born and raised in Oahu. So, all these jackasses speculating about him; yes, he knew the dangers of where he was surfing. "Geez, I wonder if the pro surfer and pro lifeguard was aware of the oceanic dangers he was in when attacked...?" See, that's a derpy question when worded properly. It's the human condition. We can't be told otherwise, and are all so convinced we'll never be a statistic. Every single person attacked by a shark in the last 100 years... believed it could never happen to them.

It’s funny especially in Hawaii cause y’all worry about the wrong thing 😂 3 years surfing any swells I could and diving any time I could specifically looking for sharks. Even free dived at electric beach when a current brought in so much sand all along the west coast for whatever reason. Went all the way to the pipe and still couldn’t even see my fins or my buddy if we weren’t basically touching. Once we realised it’s not going to get better and this is a bad idea we left a nothing happened. To this day I’m not sure why I even went to check it out, I know way too much about sharks to do stupid sht like that. So 3 years never saw the tigers I was seeking but you want to know how many times I’ve almost went for the wrong wave and would have smashed head first into the reef or how many times I over did it and almost ran out of energy to fight some channels on the way back on big days. The answer is too many to count with a dozen that were really close call as in if I didn’t bail or pull out of it early I was a goner or at least breaking a limb. 10ft logs smashed me so hard in a patch of sand I could feel the two concrete slabs on either way and knew I get slammed just a foot to the right or left whatever hits is breaking on impact guarantee. With that one absolutely as close as you can get to kicking the bucket at Haleiwa early morning maybe 5 dudes out ad decisions lead me to a beating with no breath, at the time I didn’t know 8-10ft Haleiwa is very committed to claim your life and it got within a second I’d say, had I been held for one extra second or two I wouldn’t have made it back up. Being in the impact zone my leash breaks no one is finding my body and even if he doesn’t by the time anyone noticed I’m already a goner cause no lifeguards on duty that early and I was a good distance from the line up and honestly I wouldn’t want someone to risk their lives to come fish me out because I was being dumb. I made it out but was fine with going that way, I pushed too far and I last. I fought with everything to get that breath but if that wasn’t enough then I was ok saying GGs I had a good life. All this to say I’ve dived with a few sharks by now, got stalked by another few and yet never had the feeling of impending doom I’ve had during big swells or not even that big a swell. 8ft ain’t big but just a couple bad decisions consecutively and before you know it your fate is already locked. My advice is worry about the ocean before you worry about a shark cause the ocean will absolutely try and kill you or humble you whichever comes first.

In Oahu we have the infamous Ocean Ramsey who swims and plays with tiger sharks and obvious getting them used to being around humans. Like Timothy Treadwell who was mauled to death by a grizzly bear in Alaska after playing with them for over 10 years, both Ocean and Timothy thought they were saving the bears and the sharks. Being Alaskan I have no doubt that these acts take the “wildness” out of bears and sharks and places these species in harms way. I know a wild animal has been fed by humans or treated as humans by giving them human names when I see a wild animal that will look me straight into my eyes. Respect all wildlife.

Has nothing to do with people diving else you’d have like hundred of thousands of people missing a year.

So we aren’t on the menu but we sure are making sure we will be the last thing on the menu. Already happening in the Red Sea perhaps we starting to notice in other places. So unfortunately the common sense needs to trinckle down to people using km long nets scooping everything cause soon they’ll be out of a job and worse case scenario if things escalate fast we might be out of food completely because if land based ecosystems depend on marine ecosystems which we killing off the way evidence suggest then it’s a quick domino affect till we starving.

If you're injured by anything out there, time is of the essence, especially where shark bites are involved. Being that he lost an arm and leg, its likely not promising that he could have survived it under the best of circumstances unless the bite placement allowed for tourniquets to be applied at both sights in time. But we'll never know because he was alone and lost his life before that could be established.

People surf solo (a seemingly risky activity) in many thousands of locations every single day and the number of shark attacks on lone surfers are absolutely minuscule. Similarly, people drive cars without thinking about it (an actually "risky" activity, with lifetime risk of motor vehicle death being a bit higher than 1% for regular car users - astronomically higher than any calculation you could make for lifetime risk of death by shark attack in any location on earth except for specifically a few locations on the southern coastline of Australia) and yet it would obviously be foolish to state that maybe someone who just got mashed to death in a car wreck 'probably should have known better'.

You could instead choose to take much safer transport options or move to somewhere that has those options available. Nobody is putting a gun to your head saying you need to drive your car and you're an absolute midwit for thinking that retort is a 'gotcha' of any kind. I don't need to use car fatality statistics. There are a plethora of other relatively safe activities that people die doing at far greater rates than surfers being attacked by sharks. Here are just a few avoidable activities that have much higher risk of killing you than what happened to Tamayo: recreational cycling, skateboarding, canoeing, swimming in non pelagic bodies of water or swimming pools, owning a dog, hiking in the mountains, being even slightly overweight, accidentally taking too much medication (opioids, etc), accidental gun discharge in a farming or pest control context. Do you truly think that anyone dying due to not minimizing risk in every single aspect of their lives to avoid any and all extremely unlikely outcomes that may cause injury or death extremely infrequently should be ridiculed or called 'stupid'?

To be fair I’ve been tempted by the big drop off from bowls to diamond head but without a boat that’s asking to disappear without a trace, still tho they definitely a few hanging out there that’s 100% certain, thing is they might stay pretty deep or a bit off it. Kinda how it was in the Red Sea, mako stalked me but never came close enough for me to see him, camera god him good in the distance tho. Looked right at it cause I felt being watched and my spidey sense tingled for a moment but I did not see him (I knew 100%) he was there. Still can’t believe I looked right at it and only saw blue but that mf saw plenty of me but left pretty quick cause my spidey sense stopped tingling after a few minutes. Thought it was in my head till after I came back from the dive and saw the pictures. See it clear as day lurking in the distance probably just 20-30m away max. Open ocean is scary and the Red Sea as beautiful as it is is terrifying for so many reasons. Def doing it again tho, I don’t learn.

Anyone who thinks that just doesn’t define their terms well, so confusion would have lead them astray. I mean, impossible is outside the ream of possibility, so probability isn’t relevant. If one understands something is improbable, per the standard definition, they also understand it’s definitionally possible, and so they’d be contradicting themselves to think it’s impossible they’d get taken out by a shark. Not to be a dictionary Nazi or whatever, but seriously, anyone thinking like that is confused about what those words mean, and maybe should avoid dangerous situations completely.. 🤷♂️

@@nikolademitri731 While the distinction between "impossible" and "improbable" is important, the phrase "The improbable is only impossible until it becomes your reality" is meant to emphasize the unpredictable nature of life and to encourage vigilance. People often underestimate unlikely events because they seem distant or irrelevant until they occur. The phrase serves as a reminder that rare events can happen, urging individuals to be prepared and avoid complacency. It's less about misunderstanding definitions and more about recognizing that improbable events are part of reality and can impact anyone.

Correct, sharks deaths are rare and almost always happen at the surface. I think the number of annual shark deaths worldwide is only about 50. As a scuba diver, I have swam with reef sharks, nurse sharks, hammerhead sharks and tiger sharks and have not yet experienced any aggressive behavior UNDERWATER. however, I am most vigilant when on the surface exiting or entering a dive boat. Surfers appear to be a greatest risk of attack because their silhouette can be confused by a shark for a seal.

In 2023, there were 69 unprovoked shark attacks worldwide and only 10 fatalities out of the 69 unprovoked attacks worldwide. Surfing accounted for 42 percent of the incidents. The deaths get an inordinate amount of coverage because they spark our primal fear of being the victim of predation and therefore get a lot of views ($ from advertisers) on mainstream media.

I surfed for almost 50 years and a lot of that time was in Hawaii. In my time there I saw sharks often, mostly white and black tips. Being a haole, I surfed a lot of the 'out of the way' or sharky breaks because no one would be out to hassle me. My favorite spot was the outer reefs in Kaaawa at Swanzy Beach Park and Kahana Bay! That place is insanely sharky and has big tigers there! I knew they were there but never had a problem because I don't act like bait in the water and always stay far away from people who do.

This is not the first time I've heard that a shark has singled out a person from an entire group & has come in for multiple attacks on that one person. A past victim said if it wasn't for the shark attack, his dr's never would have found heart trouble leading to bypass surgery. We know that sharks can hear the heartbeat of animals in distress (it's one of their tools in discerning prey). Maybe it's a persons individual heart rhythm that attracks the fish.
