Avoiding the unavoidable: how not to surf with sharks

Shark Week continues! But let’s get practical—what can you actually do to avoid surfing with sharks?

In this episode, we dive into the numbers (yes, there’s an actual International Shark Attack File 😳), talk about the sharkiest surf spots in the world (Reunion Island, we’re looking at you), and break down why sharks even bother with surfers in the first place. Spoiler: they’re not into neoprene.

We cover the difference between a seal and a surfer (from a shark’s point of view), the common-sense rules for when you see a dorsal fin in the lineup, and the real reason you might want to skip the yellow rashie and your sparkly jewelry.
