Dear Sticky,

I love the ocean but I'm completely terrified of sharks. When I do manage to force myself into the water, I initially enjoy it but then a sense of overwhelming paranoia sets in. I guess I'm just not a fan of being eaten. I enjoy my position on top of the food chain & don't want to put that at risk. Anything I can do to overcome this fear?

I like the diving suit idea but i'm not sure how practical it would be. Don't get me wrong, that is definitely full body protection. But it would probably impede my ability to surf / bodyboard. Plus it's scary in a Bioshock kinda way. It would also probably frighten away dolphins, whom I hope to one day befriend (since appaarently they have the most fun of all animals).

I do appreciate the effort, flyguy! I guess I'll wait on Stcky's sage like advice to figure this conundrum out :)

first you need to be aware of your habitat.  If there are seals on the beach you probably shouldn't go swimming, there may be Great Whites just below the surface.  

Otherwise you must become one with the water.  avoiding splashes.  wade out into the water gently, take a spear gun if need be.  There's not much you can do when it comes down to it, Sharks love to bite people who boogie board.

So.....basically I'm F'd :-[

Oh well, maybe I could pay a dolphin to be my personal aquatic bodyguard. Worth a shot I guess.

not you're not f'd at all.  you just have to watch out for bull sharks because they burying themselves in the sand and attack the fuck out of you if you walk by them.  Did you know they can survive in fresh water?  Lake Sharks is what I'm talking about.  Shit will fuck you up.

when I fight sharks I usually punch them in their face right on their nose.  it stuns them and gives me time to ride their fin to ride around on.  See once you make the bond with the shark fin, that shark is yours forever.  He will only let you ride him.

YES!!!! This is exactly what put the fear into me. I foolishly read Twelve Days of Terror when I was roughly 18. These are the true events which inspired Jaws. I used to surf in Long Beach Island, NJ. Most of the attacks took place on or around LBI :o

Huh, shark wrangling! Never thought of that. The thought of having my very own shark-submarine sounds pretty awesome 8-)

P.S. well done flyguy! That's fucking epic!!
