Last summer i went to nice (france) over the weekend. There were some guyes on the beach with a mastercraft X2 and i went for a ride with them (wakeboarding). I fell on a backroll and when i was waiting for the boat i saw 2 sharkfins about 10m away.... Never ever been so scared in my life! Lucky me, it wasnt sharks, it was moonfish. But before i knew that, i was sure i was going to die...  _________________ On June 22 my babygirl saw her first light, Weighing in at 6 pounds 9 ounces, she is the most beautiful thing in the world... |

yea, it wasn't really all that slimy, prolly wasn't a shark but I don't think it was an eel, I was just kinda weird feelin, and to tell you the truth i wasn't tryin to figure out what it felt like, i was just tryin to get away, but it was a big ol sucker, like not length wise but like fatness wise, thats why i don't think it was a gar or an eel, but who knows. but about you sayin the shark would have bitten me, i doubt it, most sharks have no want in eating humans, _________________ ow thats gonna hurt tomorrow |

| I bet it was a manatee because a manatee would float up but a bull shark would swim up a little faster. |

i was in a channel skating the other day(illegal) and I fell, then my friend got the tow rope caught around a marker and I am sitting there floating with the current and i tried to see the bottom and as I was staring I imagined just seeing a sharks mouth fly up and bite my face off. It freaked me out and I told that beach to hurry.
Pointless, but.. yup |

| Parky Jelly fish arent really a problem, i get stung by big ass ones all the time, you just gotta get it off you then piss on yourself(gross i know) then leave the piss there for like 20 seconds then wash it off and your fine. the worst is when you have to pull the jelly fish off of you and you get stung in your hand to. |

| when i was like 6 or something i was tubing by my lakes dam and theres stories of like 10ft catfish that divers seen there. and im waiting for the boat and i see some water ripple about 15ft away then i see this long thing go by. me being only 6 and not very smart get scared to shizzle and start yelling for them to hurry up. they laugh at me and say it was probably a piece of driftwood. but when ur 6 your mind starts to screw with you. we never did see a piece of wood that day tho |

I ride the same river and I think it was probably a manatee. We see those every once in a while. When you first see something and can't quite make out what it is they can scare the crap on of you. |

scaryest thing thats happen to me is the 1st time tryed to waterski, i was 4 years old, and my mom got the idea to do it off the boom, that was all good until she though that some calbes could hold me up so i coudlent fall, well they back fired, and it held me upside down in the water for along time, it was scary as hell for me, i dont really remember it to well but every time the boom goes out i get to hear the story, lol _________________ i said between 18 and 21 not 15 and 25, damn i need a perfect pass |
