Happy sharks

Everywhere we go Jason warns us about sharks. Our little Waimea house sits in front of a beautiful black sand beach, but he warned us not to even put a toe in the water because it's very sharky. The break that I like surfing most so far (called Pakala) has been murky from all the rain we've had so Jason says it will be sharky there until the water clears up. He's starting to freak me out a little. He advises us to swim toward the shallow coral if we see a shark and float on our boards there until the little monsters go away. More like paddle maniacly toward shore until I'm safely on the sandy beach and watch serenely as some other surfer gets her leg chomped off.
