Outrage!
A giant osprey, initially misidentified as a proud bald eagle, put on a show in Myrtle Beach, South Carolina, swooping into the ocean and fishing out a baby shark.
Toddlers, who have almost forgotten the song “Baby Shark”, were horrified and expected mommy shark, daddy shark and grandma shark to be clutched and paraded across the sky next.
Their left-leaning parents, equally horrified by a display of species-on-species violence, assumed the bird to be a straight white male and the baby shark to be the rights of indigenous peoples.
Huge bird of prey catches shark-like fish on beach
Myrtle Beach had not seen this kind of excitement since Kenny Powers went boogie boarding there almost a decade ago.

Exciting.

I love the predator being an evil white male and the Baby shark the minority metaphor LMAO.. looks like more and more people are waking up to the reality that white people are being demonized in a country that’s about 70% white and founded by whites and fought for/died for by primarily whites. F the left.
More fun facts:
Mixing Sharks, politics and surfing is really lame.
http://www.oceansurfshop.com/ Check today’s “waves.” This is the best spot between Wilmington and Jacksonville. That’s 2 states and thousands of surfers, looking at this. Whole coast looks like this today, but these parts look like this 330 days a year, give or take. You got it made in the shade, GOAT.
Probably five minutes if he think it’ll get Mr. Slater to start engaging with him again. (Which it might, the guy seems to have infinite time for arguing the point.)
You ever seen those vids of fishermen using a bow and arrow? Must be the same rush as you get harpooning a whale I reckon.
Ospreys cancelled.
Nope. Last year was the 30th Anniversary of the Bell-Boeing
V-22 Osprey. Many powers that be, and even powers that be’d after them tried to “kill” the Osprey, mostly far how difficult the learning curve was for pilots. Many crashes have occurred. As a troop transport for the Marines, reliability was questioned. But problems mostly arose from pilot error, coupled with low tolerance for loss of lift as rotors tilt for wings to provide lift.
There was one really bad crash on one of the Hawaiian islands. I forget which.
Long story short, it was announced in March of this year that a civilian model will be released. Imagine all the shark stories Chas could pen from a Leonardo “Ospey”, with Leo F as co-pilot. Ooooweee

When it’s knee dribbles and i have my kids yes or just body surf. If it’s capable of pushing a board for more then 3 seconds LB. If legit stomach or higher short board. Those days are sadly few and far between.
And neither the shark nor the bird were wearing face-masks.
What a couple of assholes!
MAGA spirit animals.
Rumor has it that BLM has culturally appropriated the MAGA slogan. Make Anarchy Goofy Again
Make Asses Gassy Again.
I believe the MAGA spirit animal is the Chinese Penis Fish?
I believe you are misinformed dumbass who should pack up and move to Liberia since we’re heading into another 4 years of MAGA son
Thanks dad!
But I prefer smartass thank you.
Well HRH Charles, thanks for shedding light on this particular issue for me…its appears I have been deceived
I always thought sharks to be stooges of the right
Hierarchical, authoritarian types, who largely benefited from trickle down economics and territorial nationalism
Sneaky left-wing cunts
I live and surf in the Myrtle Beach area and seeing osprey hunt and fly with fish is an everyday occurrence. Sometimes you will see a dropped fish on the road or in someone’s pool. We also have eagles, falcons and on rare occasion kites.
I once watched an osprey struggling in the air over the ocean, it shook loose a 12 inch bluefish which was also being attacked by a 24 inch ribbon fish. I returned the ribbon fish to the water but the bluefish was too far gone.
The shark that was pictured is about 12 inches, there are tons of them this time of year. I’m don’t know what species it is but I have heard that they are fully grown at that size and that most of them are eaten by other fish.
That’s why, when all this finally goes to hell, I’m moving next to you.
Pretty sure the shark species is called an Up Shit Creek Shark.
Member of the flying shark fam.
Is it acceptable to hate all longboarders, or are there exceptions?
Big deal. I once caught a baby mullet* bare-handed, from a jetty in the Noosa canals. But because I existed in an era before every phone was a fucking news camera, I’m still waiting for my 15 minutes of viral fame.
*A sick and quite possibly suicidal mullet.
I think all mullets can be accurately described this way
My QT mullet is FANTASTIC.
Had a flying fish hit me in the chest in Kahala out alone
Shit myself.
Nice. Got knocked off my board in Bali by one many years ago too. Fucken hurt. I always wondered if their vision out of the water is the same as ours under the water. You know, fish brains unable to process the difference in light refraction. It’s the big questions that keep me awake at night.
I haven’t thought about it in 30 years.
Was miserable weather yesterday and I got on it early. I must have read something here that reminded me of it..haha
Sounds a bit fishy. Boom tish.
Certainly felt fishy on Sunday
My bro caught a Carp in his hand in the Murray once. I think Dad told him to just chuck it up on the bank and return to the picnic we were having at the time.
At the time of catching, I had a mouthful of burger, so couldn’t exclaim. It took a few moments of walking back on the jetty towards the bbq-ing crowd, before the fish flicking in my hand was noticed. It was then and only then that the majesty of the moment was realised. At least I got some credit. I feel for your brother.
That Eastbound and Down scene might be the most accurate representation of surfing by Hollywood ever
Its the best piece of surf media put out since Curren’s wave at Jbay
That’s cause it was Kenny Powers motherfucker! “Kenny Powers’ life is action movie reality TV bitches, and more pussy wanting Kenny “Lightning Bolt Chuckin’ Mound Lord” Powers, more pussy in Hollywood wants me than a Weinstein could creep in a day! You best believe that shit!” K-Pow recently exclaimed.
It’s definitely the most accurate depiction of Myrtle Beach that I have ever seen.
Their left-leaning parents, equally horrified by a display of
species-on-species violence, assumed the bird to be a straight white
male and the baby shark to be the rights of indigenous peoples.
Chas is en fuego…
Straight White Shark.
Chas, for those of us forced to surf the “waves” in SC, please put a trigger warning if you’re showing us footage of said state’s knee high wind slop. Thanks. –DHMF
Hey now, we get shorebreak too.
World Shorebreak League. But even that’s too small to skimboard. Most people right now are wake surfing. Need a hurricane here soon.
