Unprecedented times.
The game has officially changed. In a stunning moment, a shark has attacked a foil enthusiast in Florida thus shattering the aura of invincibility surrounding Mark Zuckerberg, his best friend Kai Lenny, shaper to the stars Jon Pyzel and all those who have taken up foiling.
Hovering above the water’s surface, as if riding a magic carpet, foiling was seen as immune to the ugliness under the surface of the sea including, but not limited to, jellyfish stings, those weird fuzzy bubbles that sometimes float by and dreaded shark attacks.
All that changed, days ago, when Florida kite foiler Erika Lane became the second known foil shark attack victim. There she was south of Anna Maria City Pier in the gulf when a shark swam right up behind her, jerked her foil causing her to tumble then bit her right in the leg.
“I saw sharknado,” she told the local ABC affiliate, “like a cartoon character or Jaws coming at my face. I just didn’t know what was going on so I was screaming with my hands in front of my face, thinking I was going to get bitten or something. Then it was gone and I looked at my wing next to me and I just jumped on it like a pool raft.”
Luckily, Lane’s friends were nearby and they helped her to shore where they all wept loudly together over lost innocence. The first attack on a foiler happened in Maui but, in that case, the 35-year-old man was in the water, not upon his magic carpet, thus no different than you or me.
Florida shark experts believe the shark to be around four feet, based on the bite marks.
Foilers everywhere, from kite to electric, paddle to pump, are currently reassessing life choices.
Unprecedented times.
Difficult days.
No kiters are not reassessing life choices. As a writer don’t put words in the mouths of others. This woman will go back to kiting. She knows her chances of it happening again are slim and none.
To Kai, I had a lot of admiration for you, till I found out your palling around with that dirt bag. You know what havoc he wreaked on Kauai.
Bunch of fake wanna be surfers always commenting on this site.
Half of you tools have probably never surfed.
Bait on a plate.
Hell o, I don’t know how other people raised their children, but we thought we were better for a NY MINUTE wap wap wap up side all of you. No one to save your stupid ass. .I wanna run for President in 2024. I have already had a bar fight, got arrested and posted my own bail. All at the tender age of 62.
Revenge for all the shark bros cut in half by fuckwit foilers

Man, I’ve gotta get one of these BG badges! Whose leg do I have to hump to get one?
Tell her I said hi
What locals said was simple: “we dosed way too much, so next time cut the shroom allotment in half as I see some dude walking on water” and then one of them said “I think I’ll go hang with the Essenes and help write the Dead Sea Scrolls as I feel creative”
Very woke…very woke, indeed!
Foiled again
Believe it.
Body boards, SUPs and now Foils.. Proof that surfers never run out of things to bitch about. Archie Bunker would have made a great and bitchy surfer.
Foil wings kinda look like fins on a large and tasty Tuna . Jus sayin
Mmmmmm…..sushi!
God dosent believe in you either.

If there was only a way to train ’em to do this
Finally a worthwhile charity to support.
Why did you have to bring logic and facts to my irrational rant? Now as for the female bricklayer or zinclayer, I’ll be on the lookout but don’t tell my wife!
Jonah’s girlfriend is on Oahu. Why aren’t you covering this shattering piece of news?
Meeting her dark-skinned lover? I’d guess that Jonah is hung like a light switch.

After 100 million years, sharks have finally evolved.
Ha! I don’t know why this isn’t upvoted all the times.
