Someone will almost definitely try it for real now - a stoner - air head - or just stupid idiot.<BR/><BR/>As for the shark's tail, I've seen quite a few dorsal fins without the tail, though not that big. With the pole, I saw the floats later when I put on my stronger glasses and watched again, but even then almost missed it so good observation on your part. Another thing that made it look phony was that the shark towed him to the beach so he could surf the waves - although I cannot say a shark would not enter shallower water it seems unlikely if it was hooked.<BR/><BR/>As for the other surfers not being afraid, good point, but then again I have seen surfers in the water with sharks and they were not all that alarmed, but they would have to be out of their minds not to be alarmed about a real shark with a dorsal fin like that.<BR/><BR/>All the best, <BR/>GBGlenn Bhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16677859688487279914noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32768818.post-16540939820951623632008-05-09T23:54:00.000-05:002008-05-09T23:54:00.000-05:00OFF TOPICHere's a question for the Apple Pie Puris...OFF TOPIC<BR/><BR/>Here's a question for the Apple Pie Purist<BR/><BR/>http://agangershome.blogspot.com/2008/05/question-for-culinary-artists.htmlMightyMomhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02563721884001643857noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32768818.post-22343517595110072082008-05-09T23:39:00.000-05:002008-05-09T23:39:00.000-05:00God sure loves the stupid (fake or not) as He made...God sure loves the stupid (fake or not) as He made so many of them!MightyMomhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02563721884001643857noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32768818.post-61136812791376124952008-05-09T17:12:00.000-05:002008-05-09T17:12:00.000-05:00There were floats attached to the rod.

You never see the sharks tail, there's a huge swell behind the fin, lots of camera angles and editing, his distance behind the fin is much closer later in the video, and the other surfers don't look the least bit alarmed. Pretty sure it's a fin towed behind a jetski, but, I could be wrong.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
