After a couple trips to some northern Los Angeles County beaches on labor day weekend, I’ve gained a renewed appreciation for the power of ocean waves. During my trips that weekend the ocean had strong under currents and large waves, probably about 6 ft. or so. This wave is from Australia and it’s well over 6 ft. From the looks of it, it’s probably 20 ft! I can only imagine what it would feel like to be in the water with waves that high and powerful coming at you! As dangerous as it looks, I think it would be alot of fun to be floating around and swimming near waves that big. No doubt they’re not for beginners though (don’t try this at home kids 
)

Are these guys insane? Maybe so, or maybe not. The sharks don’t seem to be bothered by them in their pictures. Although if they were bothered by them, their mouths look just big enough to permanently damage an arm or leg.
I’m really astonished at this picture because sharks have been on my mind alot this summer. I started taking an interest in snorkeling and scuba diving and other water sports. I never had a very successful time even snorkeling but I’ve wondered if I could possibly run into a shark out there off of the north L.A. beaches. Before I had this interest, I didn’t even think that sharks would be around here. But a lot of people I’ve talked to seemed to be scared and think they’re out there. At one beach I even saw a fisherman catch and throw back a baby shark from the rocks.
After seeing this pic and the rows of teeth, I don’t see how those guys do it.
