What are good places 2go surfing were there arnt sharks?

Question

im scared of sharks but like to surf

Answer 1

Where there is an ocean, there are sharks. They are a species much older than mankind. They are efficient hunters and very adaptable to their changing environment. The are a wonder of nature. And, they can be very scary.

However, lightning can be very scary also. You are statistically far more likely to be struck by lightning than to be bitten (let alone killed) by a shark.

If you let your fear of sharks dominate you, you might as well find another past time, because when we surf, we are just visitors, the sharks are the locals.

The link that Surfammo listed is fantastic, take the time to read it.

Answer 2

Umm...the Great Lakes?  Seriously if you're in ocean you're in their home.  With that said, you are MANY times more likely to be bitten by a dog, stung by bee or in a car crash on the way to the beach than be bitten by a shark.

Answer 3

East-London, South Africa would be your safest bet.  The Buffalo river mouth near my house has been declared absolutely certified shark free.

Answer 4

Sharks live in the ocean. We are only guests. If you enjoy surfing then you need to stop worrying about Sharks and focus on your technique. Learn more at:

Answer 5

Your never going to be in a place where there arent any sharks. Either you can stay out of the water for your fear of sharks, or just surf some gnarly waves and man up. If you get bit, you get bit. **** happens.

Answer 6

somebodys seen the movie jaws one to many times. Try surfing where theres alot of sea weed/ reef never been a reported shark attack in sea weed

Answer 7

You will never truly be in a "shark-less" area, so think of it this way:  are you scared of your journey to the beach?  Because you're are way more likely to die in a car accident than die from a shark.  But we hop in the car anyway!  Huh.  Why are you scared of sharks?  Really.  People die from coconuts a lot more but nobody -NOBODY- has nightmares about a coconut.  Lets face it: sharks are indeed scary-looking, but you are more likely to get hurt by doing another activity than by getting bit by a shark while surfing.

I think sharks a kinda cute, lol

Answer 8

even if there is a clean record of "no sharks attacks"

there are sharks everywhere. Everytime I surf, I see sharks.

I've been nipped 2 times by sharks at my own local surf spot.

I was surfing at night when it happened, and i was alone (both times)

Just don't worry about it! If you really cared about surfing, then you wouldn't worry about sharks.

Answer 9

try Kansas or Idaho, maybe even the Dakotas...
