Giant “mutilated shark alien” spotted lurking off coast of Southern California causing much consternation and hand-wringing amongst SUP community!

The end of the world?

There are many odd creatures on God’s blue earth but many none odder than the ocean sunfish or mola mola. Considered the heaviest boney fish, it looks like it is missing its entire body, just head and tail and is found in tropical waters or, apparently, off the coast of Southern California where one caused much consternation and hand-wringing amongst the SUP community.

Two paddled out to examine what they first thought to be a “mutilated alien shark.”

“He’s as big as your board,” one said to another before giggling.

Odd.

Jonah Hill-esque.
