That's it.
Saw my "real" shark kitesurfing 2 days ago.
("Real" as "not fantasize".... Cause we all "think we saw something" pretty much all the time... At least, I know I do whether I admit it or not!)
Better than seeing it, I actually rode over it....
I saw those weeds floating (so I thought "oh, some weeds floating...") but as I was 1m from them, I saw a fin hanging out... I suddenly froze and even though I was about to go straight over it, I didn't seem to think of slowing down or turning around. Or anything, really.... All I could think was " oh ****... it's a shark...".
(which makes me realize my brain is quite an unreliable material when it comes to.... being sensible... Lol... (but that will allow me to slightly edify my story later on :"you know, I saw that fin hanging out so I just thought I'd get as close as I could to check what shark it was, you know, just out of curiosity!"))
As I was about to collide with it, the poor tiny hammer head got scared sh**less and swam away like if he had just seen a monster... ( he probably did...)
Even though it was tiny, I must say I didn't feel that comfortable for the rest of my session... Especially after I spoted a half eaten... something floatting around later on.... (It's the second time in a month I see a devored unidentified animal floatting in the water within 100m from the shore... but devored with such clean teeth impact in the flesh it doesn't leave much option to the identity of the author.... lovely...)
My conclusion of this amazing encounter is that I don't mind knowing they're here... I'm just much happier not seeing them!!!! (I jump better too...)
Even though... Got to say.... Gosh they're pretty!
