Sharks are everywhere but some areas have a very active marine environment and the south coast has its fair share of whites. The last few years Definately has us thinking about the risk for foilers for the first time down here.
Bhewherre beach that sits between Sussex and caves is a known white breading ground and as evidence of this you will see whites pinging the shark buoy off Sussex most days. Stockton north of Newcastle is known for the same phenomena.
While doing wind sports in jbay we do see sharks but the risk feels way less and the regular spotings seem to be of the low risk varieties so the comfort level feels good. However Wreck bay to bawley the risk should not be dismissed lightly.
The density of reliable foiling spots from wreck bay to Batemans bay is lower than most of the rest of the east coast due to the power and consistency of our surf breaks. While it great for surfing it is mostly frustrating for foiling.
Yeah thanks AnyBoard for the info I think I might give relocating to Jervis Bay a miss then:-)
