Shark reportedly bumps surfer at Moonlight

Union-Trib:
A young man reported being attacked by a shark Wednesday evening south of Moonlight Beach in Encinitas, though authorities believe the animal “aggressively bumped” him rather than bit him.

It happened around 5:45 p.m. in the water off C Street and Moonlight Lane, according to Encinitas lifeguard Capt. Larry Giles and sheriff’s Lt. Tim Matzkiw. It prompted authorities to post advisory signs a mile north and south of the area warning surfers and swimmers for the next 24 hours about the reported encounter.

The victim, described only as a young man who was surfing or bodyboarding, was taken by medics to Scripps Memorial Hospital Encinitas with a cut on his foot, Giles said.

The young man reported that a “large” shark circled him, and he possibly kicked the animal, Giles said.
UPDATE: Maybe it was just a stingray.

  3. Reminds me of when big Al Bundy came home from the shoe store and told Peg, "a woman came into the store today that was so fat, she had three smaller women orbiting her".

  5. 7:12 - You are an example of no common sense and no reading comprehension.
    where did I mention Trump?

    I did not say I respected trump. I do not. You might want to take a walk or a nap to clear your mind. Have a nice day.

  6. 7:56- What? Go back to bed and try again. You seem to be going delusional.

    Who is paying me? Well, my mind's well intentioned thoughts pay my body very well by getting out and excerising along the beach. You should try it.

    After your much needed nap, take a brisk walk on the beach and better yet. jump into Mother Ocean and let her heal you with her amazing powers.

    Have a sweat long nap and a nice day!

    No person is paying me for my comments. Its called free will.

    You know who is costing me dearly in poor actions?

    Newsom and Blakespear by their restrictive unnecessary actions that harm my health and destroy our Community both public health wise and people's livelihoods and well being.

    Wake Up Encinitas Please! This is not what our forefather's wanted for us.

      I'd say its the best source of news in Encinitas. This blog the random crap from sketchy freaks and commie bastards, but you also get some rare honest truths. Most people with common sense can take the good information and filter the crap.

      What's the point of your post?

    2. This blog is a wonderful echo-chamber for the 3% of Encinitas who are ardent racists and xenophobes. They can spout off their hate here, and they feel like big boys wearing big boy pants.
