Well...on Monday, the group (after observing my daughters) had moved closer where we could talk back and forth. Wind was up and the surf was rough. Whitecaps and waves going in all directions. They were paddling out most of the time without a vest. I asked the buddy how in the hell they were going out without a vest. Buddy Dude says "I was a Navy Diver....I can swim. Not worried about drowning - more worried about getting bit. Turns out Big Dude was in the Marines. These guys were fearless in the water. Wednesday I caught a skate and gave it to them. They got a hit and reeled it in. Shark was not on but only the top half of the skate was still there. Pretty awesome bite radius was evident.
