Research shows that most of the time sharks attack surfers because under the water surfers on their boards look like sea turtles one of the shark’s natural prey.If you aren’t a surfer that doesn’t mean that you will easilly avoid shark attack. Sharks are definately attracted to slplashing and some times that excites them.

If you are still having a fear of sharks you may want to know some of the sharks weak spots. First of all sharks must be swimming at all times to survive. They do not get any rest unless it’s eternal. Many people attacked by sharks usually survive there are rare cases of a person dying from a shark attack.
