Thank you, Laughinggull108, I try to be prudent and careful. And, amazingly, 
the young man is listed in fair condition notwithstanding the apparent severity 
of the wounds.

It's true, surfing provides the most extraordinary pay-off, unparalleld in my 
experience. The risk of an attack, though real, is nonetheless, relatively 
small. Here is the list of all shark attacks on the Pacific coast of the U.S. 
since 2000: http://www.sharkresearchcommittee.com/2000.htm

So, all things considered, the likelihood of it happening to any particular 
surfer isn't great. Not that I don't think of it from time to time, and I was 
bumped once in 2009 at a different surfbreak, but car accidents and lightning 
strikes are more frequent causes of injury and death than shark attacks.
