Anyone noticed that everyone other than the majority of surfers in WA are for the protection of them and oppose a cull. The problem is, people who don't live here can't full understand the problem unless they live it.
I read an article in Surfers Path magazine (which I actually think is generally a good read) about the WA shark situation and the Barnet government etc and it was the most biased, factually incorrect article I have ever read.
Its easy to sit in the comfort of Cornwall in the UK in your white sharkless ocean and call for the preservation of these things Mr Surfers Path. Its much harder to be a surfer in WA, want to surf like you always have and live with the worry of being chomped every time you paddle out.
it would be nice not to have to get paranoid when theres something big feeding near you like this morning didnt find out what species but was there more than an hour
Bloody hell, am I the only surfer here that doesn't think about sharks at all while I'm in the water?
These shark discussions are getting out of hand. There has to be more interesting topics to be discussed...surely? Or is shark debates the breadwinner for seabreeze?
had a roo run past on the track down the beach and a seal in the lieup last surf. These animals are just getting too selfish!
plus i think i actually like those pesky sharks better than those preachy armchair greenies.

i've poured thousands of $ and 100"s of man hours into research and development since the last death tested with large sharks and so far all positive i would be wrapped with some government assistance to give this project the boost it now needs .
Have you asked for it (funding) Dave?
Put it in writing and if you get a negative or nil response then take it to the media, they'll be all over it like flies on a holey seal.
