On September 25, 2007 Edward McNulty was surfing atVFW’s at Ocean Beach in San Francisco at approximately 7:45 A.M. Herecounted: “Conditions were sloppy with a slight offshore breeze andclear, sunny skies. I was approximately 100 yards off shore. Twodolphins had swam south of my position a few minutes before. I waslooking out to sea as a wave crested underneath me and I saw a large,triangular, nearly stationary dorsal fin about 50 yards further outside.
With the rising sun it was illuminated beautifully. It had a very broadbase and was clearly not a dolphin’s. I have been surfing at OBregularly for years and have never seen anything like that. I instantlyturned and paddled inside. When I looked back and watched for severalminutes I did not see it again.”
Caution should be exercised when utilizing this location for your ocean water activities. Please report any shark sighting, encounter, or attack to the Shark Research Committee.
