True story. I was out on New Smyrna at dawn after a party in a condo there. There was one surfer out in the water, and his two friends were on the shore. A shark appeared on the waves to his right and his friends started yelling and pointing at it. The surfer looked over and instead saw a good break, so he started paddling over. After about 30 yards he finally saw the shark. He crouched on the board refusing to touch the water and somehow made it to shore faster than anyone I had ever seen.
