  • Malea Tribble and her husband, Rickey Tribble, were participating in a paddle board relay race when a hammerhead shark emerged from the water, trailing Malea's paddle board.
    After hopping on the boat, they regrouped and decided to continue the race once the shark left. Malea said she plans to race against next year as it helps raise awareness and funds for people with cystic fibrosis.

      A lot of these animals can just be curious and you should come inside but if someone can't get to a boat it seems if you don't strike first that they won't bite. The fact that they have a hand signal is adorable b/c my friends would've pushed me in the water lol

    Something similar to this happened to my lil brother one time when we were all out on our family boat knee-boarding. We just saw a big fin come up and stay up swimming right behind him while he was on the knee board. My step reacted by calmly raising the speed and telling us to be quiet. Eventually we were going to do fast that my brother started yelling at us and asking why we were pulling him so fast. Once we finally saw the fin disappear (it trails him even after we sped up for a good way) we immediately stopped the boat and told hil not to let go of the rope and we all pulled him in fast as we could. He still don't know what was going on. We told him after he was safe. That element I believe was very important because he was inexperienced and panic would of caused him to fall to soon.

      Well you know that Gabe may also be a person with hearing disability? Like bad hearing? Plus it's quite loud and sound can be swallowed quite easily in places like this. So, best to assure he knows even if he by any chance struggles to hear correctly what ppl are mewling about over there!

    Thats why we stay calm people, imagine if the guy on the boat was panicking yelling “shark behind you” so glad these type of people have common sense

      Sorry to hear that. I too have cf. I am 27 now, it didn’t look like I was gonna get this old 5-6 years ago. But I was lucky, I lived long enough to get the new medication that came out in the last years, now im pretty stable. I still only have 40% lung capacity and that’s not gonna improve anymore but it’s not getting worse.

She was 24 when she passed.... but she left us with a beautiful baby boy.... she was 98 lbs when she gave birth to him full term naturally. He is now 20 and is an amazing young man. We are blessed.
