[quote=CDMA ENG]Well then… I’ll admit to being a jerk…
I have laughed at guys jumping out of the water when a fin pops of of the water and everybody pulls their feet and hands in.

I’ve laughed and I’ve laughed at myself after cleaning the figurative cr*p out of my wetsuit a several years ago.
The funniest and briefly scariest was a weekday mid-fall morning, the marine layer was thick, a light foggy drizzle, I’m out off of Bolsa Chica pretty much by myself on my surf board and it’s getting late maybe 9AM so the crowds are gone and the morning traffic is light on PCH.
I’m just enjoying a decent swell, watching the porpoises way out. sea bird, a oouple pelicans fishing. A really enjoyable way to spend the pre-job hunt post layoff stress.
Then it happened. That cutting water sound. I snap my head around to see the wedge dorsal fin and a very large torpodo shaped ‘fish’, right on me, right under me, brushing my foot as I jerk.
It came up on the other side for a breath that familiar blow sound. I think it was laughing at me.
I was laughing at me and feeling really out of my element.
