DAYTONA BEACH, Fla. (AP) - Two surfers were bitten by sharks
around the same time near Daytona Beach.
A beach patrol spokesman says a 43-year-old Ponce Inlet man and
a 15-year-old Casselberry boy were surfing about 200 feet away from
each other when they were both bitten around noon Saturday.
They both received minor injuries and were treated at the scene.
It's unclear whether they were bit by the same shark or by two
different sharks.

When are these folks going to learn that OPEN water isn’t safe? I guess when a shark eventually eats someone completely up!  If I can’t see the bottom I don’t swim in it!
