While I slowly paddling into position near the inside of Point Roadknight this morning, to my left 30' away something moving caught my eye. I turned my to see a large dorsal fin slowly submerging coming straight at me
My cadence picked up remakably....looking over my sholder I paddled to the rocks, with out losing sight of the fin, it resurfaced on a new course heading out to sea.....it was about 10' to 12' long....its a pity the water was so murky I would liked to have been able to see more of the fish.
I thought it had gone, so I caught a small wave over to a woman who I was surfing with at the time. We had only started to catch a few good glassy waves, she was having a ball, but I had to ruin her day & let her know what had happened.
She was very sceptical, thinking it was just a dolphin, but in the interests of safety she went to catch a few waves in the shallows of bay.
A couple of other mates showed up to head out, while we were talking on the beach, the woman yelled & I could see our friend was still cruising the area....now the shallows of the bay !
So did the flash of the chrome logo on my paddle attract the fish?
And when it got closer it saw a very toxic looking fluro board thought there must be better breakfast around?
