Surfing New Smyrna Beach! I see why this place is the shark bite capitol! Lemon sharks galore!!!!
Snag some gear!!! www.naturallys...
Got bumped by a good sized bull shark on the Ponce Inlet side. Knocked me off my board while waiting for a set and came back at me and disappeared. Lost all my confidence in the water that day. This was just before those 6-7 bites within a short span back in the 90s.
thats understandable . most dont even have the courage to do what you did, me included
I modified my wetsuits to look like orca markings. Noticed sharks fleeing when i was off board in the water. Was like hey this worked. So i said i wonder if doing more things will help keep sharks at bay. So i got some sharkbanz noticed the smaller sharks while on board were turning away when they got within a few feet. So i then found a used ocean guardian system and tried that. Now even the larger sharks were never getting within about 8ft before sharply turning away. 😆
If I knew a shark was within eight feet of me my heart would stop.😕
I've used Sharkbanz for 10 years -- and also recently bought the Pod -- so I have two deterrents on me.
@tonimartine7985 I've had some dirty board shorts a few times. 😆
Lived in NSB all my life. Surfed the inlet all my life. Yes, they are a lot worse now days. We always saw them when were out. I'm 70 now and don't surf anymore. I do a lot of surf photography at the inlet when it's good. I have been standing in waist deep water with a camera and have 6 and 7 foot black tips run at me and turn away so sharp that they splash water on me. It is their home and we are just visitors.
I can picture the scene you painted! I’d shit my self.. lmao any shark charging then realizing I’m not food would still spook the F out of me!!! They are like dogs to me and get excited in similar ways!
I lived in NSB twice for about a year would surf the inlet twice a day routinely regardless of conditions had many Blacktips and spinner sharks close by always they are rly just big sea cats…closest call was a bait mullet that was being chased by a bull shark that used me as a escape route and jumped over the nose of my surfboard ( I was laying instead of sitting because of the sharks 🦈) a large bull shark struck out of nowhere about 1 inch from my side in a last effort to get the mullet but didn’t bite me when it had the open opportunity to instead…. But being a inlet there’s a ton of shrimp boats bait fish around instead that’s their normal diet still scary af
Grew up surfing on South Padre Island, Tx, where one day l had drifted a little off from the crowd and suddenly noticed a 3ft baby blk Tip watching me, maybe 5-6ft away. Eye to eye we stared, then l thought where is momma at and then l had enough cat eyes on me so l slapped the nose of my board and it disappeared. I caught the next wave in as far as l could. I now live in Ft Lauderdale and have only surfed a few times but seen all the Saw fish and others spinning in circles which IMO is all the new Towers so what else may be going on, frequencies, something ain't right in their world nowadays. Drones are the way to scout out the areas and an Orca suit or a blk n Wht bottom board.
I was surfing Smyrna and a swell rose in front of me and there were 2 blacktip sharks just chillin, and I was like...yeah I'm good.
ive never surfed there without seeing a shark. usually multiple
Shark bite capital of the world and he didn't realize there were sharks there.
When life hands you lemon sharks...
You go surfing 😂
you eat them
From Los Angeles. A non swimmer. I was mesmerized from start to finish. How could you be that brave. Love the music. More like this please.
Awesome! Thanks for the comment! We definitely Get used to them, and as a fisherman you feel like you understand the intent of them more!
I've seen more sharks in four months during the winter in Florida than I had in six years out in Hawai'i. See a shark almost every day; just put them out of mind, and embrace the water!
So true! I’ve maybe seen one shark the years I spent in Hawaii!
Always here bro Always,which is why no one should ever go here and surf.
🤙🤙🤙
Facts!! Just stay out the water 😅 lol 😊
You’re a surfer in Florida and you didn’t know that there were that many sharks in New Smyrna?
@@deedubs602 yeah, I got them on speed dial, that’s how I got the sick shots! They pose for me! Stay Salty
I’ve seen a lot more sharks than that closer to the inlet. Spooky seeing 20 sharks at once, even if they’re small.
I've surfed here for 60 years and have been bit but the waves are definitely worth the risk. Bites range from a few holes to serious bone crunching trama.
The Place is definitely sharky, always has been. Its more fun being above black tips as they race through mullet balls. Or you paddle out early AM into a full blown migration "oh F...!" . Sharks are bad ... Crocs are worse. Cool Video!!!
Thanks!
Lived in FL all my life, used to think sharks were bad, then surfed Costa Rica with salt water crocs…I’d rather take the sharks all day 😅
@@christiancathey5059 Tico Guide: "If you don't want to get eaten surf big waves". They pouched 2 surfer one year I was there at Heraddura. I saw the biggest Tiger at Hermosa had a belly like a VW beetle. Crazy place wild times!!!
New Smyrna good waves a LOT of Sharks, always.
my friend and I did the walk down two summers ago about 6:30 in the morning. there was a guy with his young son walking back and they had obviously been in the water. I asked if it was that bad and he said there were so many sharks he had to get the boy out of the water. he then told us we'd see them and we said yeah we see them from here and no way in heII were we going out. a few beginners were walking right toward the peak where they were. not sure how they fared but way too many for my liking.
Grew up surfing there. Had a few days last summer like that. Also manatees, dolphins and turtles.
nsb is my home break, its not always super bad. When the mullet run out of the inlet is when its the worst. Even black tip sharks will come up and check you out and leave you alone like in this video. Just be smart, dont go out when the water is super murky and seeing sharks breach. If you see spinners jumping out of the water, and its a good day, and its murky... its a roll of the dice.
Lemon sharks not to worry. Blacktips not to worry. Hammerheads not to worry. Bull sharks stay the hell out of the water!
Lemon sharks love the shallows went paddling with loads of them in Africa
O” hell no
i've surfed there a long time ago, but never saw sharks like those... wow
Just that time of year!
I live and have surfed just south of New Smyrna for a number of years. Its unusual how many reports of shark bite they get every year. Almost allways minor cuts, teeth marks, not a lot of bleeding. The sharks there are usually small and not that aggressive. We do have bigger sharks in Florida, like bull sharks, but they don't seem to feed in that area. A good thing too because the bulls are deadly. Playa Linda, Cocoa Beach, Indiatlantic, and Melbourne, all just to the south, almost never get shark bite reports, but it does happen. Same thing, teeth marks, small lacerations, scrapes. Gutsy surfing.
I hate to tell you, but it should’ve been a red flag that no one else is swimming
nah, we just walk around them.
dont drop in on the locals
Don't drop in on anyone
The rare occasion was that the water was clear enough to see them. I stopped surfing NS because every time I went I'd either get smacked by a tail, have my board bumped, or just see one in the lineup next to me. Plus NS can get pretty crowded, so it just wasn't worth it. Playa Linda is my home break now and I love that spot. You can surf, fish, kayak and hike the area. If you enjoy evening/night sessions you may even be lucky enough to surf in bioluminescence.
Yes! Bethune Beach is my favorite break near Playalinda
This was my home break for 90% of my life. I’m up in Ormond now but Im still aloud to catch waves. The locals are violent seething anarchist and the bull sharks will eat you hole. 😎
We’re moving to Palm Coast and can’t wait to take the motorcycles down to new Smyrna. I’ve always been dying to check out the shark attack capital of the world.
welcome youll see them in the surf in the morning even in palm coast at malacompra or jungle hut
That’s cool just stay out big the water.
I surfed southern cali back in the late 80s and never thought about sharks some 40 years later i surf up and down the florida east coast i see more of them but never feel threatened.
You come to love them like stray puppies with time!!! Hahahh
Fort Pierce gets just like this at times! There’s plenty of drone vids out there. 😎🤙
Awesome!! I’ll need to make a trip down south to check it out!
@@naturallysalty summer there’s not to many! They go north with the snowbirds lol there coming back now with the mullet run and will be thick until usually around Easter. I surf 🏄♂️ North jetty several times a week. The sharks are usually a sure thing 😎🤙
Temporary Humans
@@mjb1308 guess this is just a side of “living” people don’t understand

Calling all shark fishermen
bull sharks love human fletch no 1 spot for shark attacks in America Oracas would have a field with them for sure
They only bite tourist.
Ugh damnit man, I was planning on waking up early for a sunrise surf in nsb tomorrow…not sure now.
I’d still do it!! Everyday is different! And the sharks didn’t bother us at all!!! Just go with someone or paddle out next to some peeps!
dawg ur in their territory. as long as you don’t mess with them you’ll be fine
Yes definitely don’t go to NSB the locals will get you before the sharks..
