Unrelated Shark incident

A Shark jammed Juan Rodriques Galvao, a 14-year-old surfer, Wednesday off the coast of northeastern Brazil near Del Cifre Beach. The jam happened in an area that is off limits to bathers and surfers because of its Sharkiness. There have been 52 recorded Shark bites in the the state of Pernambuco since 1992 with 19 fatalities, and there are warning signs posted everywhere. Young Juan received a nice chomp to his left leg but he is expected to recover. There was no official details about the species of Shark, but we are betting Bull Shark. This jam happened just ten days and twenty miles north of a jam that took young Wellington dos Santos's right hand.

So whose Bull Sharks will be the bulliest this year, Mexico's or Brazil's?

Unrelated accidents can be so yucky,

A Shark took the right hand from 14-year-old Wellington dos Santos on Sunday as he swam past a coral reef that serves as a Shark wall, keeping Sharks off Piedade beach near Recife, Brazil. The Shark also took off a nice chunk of his ass. Wellington, minus his hand, is in the hospital in critical condition. This was probably a Bull Shark. 19 people have been killed by Shark parties in Brazil's Pernambuco state over the past 15 years. The waters around Recife are EXTREMELY BULL SHARKY. This was not always the case, but extremely poorly engineered beach development has disrupted Bull Shark populations and fucked up their regular eating patterns. New Smyrna Beach, Florida may be able to boast the most Shark parties, but Recife, Brazil gets the award for the most fatal Shark parties. Most of New Smyrna's Shark parties involve Spinner or Blacktip Sharks who mistake hands and feet for bait fish. On the other hand, Recife's Bull Sharks are a bit more testy. Some of us think that the number of Shark incidents in and around Recife go underreported by Brazilian authorities. We wouldn't want their lucrative tourist trade disrupted would we?

Give him back his hand.

Hang in there Wellington,
