Surfing around Torquay in Victoria means I never worry about sharks. Stray boards are the real killer - copped three at the weekend and a kayak the week before.

Don't get to comfortable out there Murf, a certain beach was cleared twice on the Mornington Peninsula on Sunday afternoon. Shark around the 6ft mark actually bumped into a punter. I would still be more worried about being collected by a stray kayak though!

I used to think that the Surf Coast was virtually shark-free, all the way down to Apollo Bay (although I always thought that places south of there were a bit suss). Then I heard about some close encounters at Winki and Bells, including an attack at Winki Dec 19 2006. Hmm.
