Check out this great white at San Onofre. Is it just a matter of time??

Me my Shark and I from Chuck Patterson on Vimeo.

From what I understand the juveniles feed on fish until they reach around 8-10 feet then they change their diet to include small mammals. I'm no expert but this one looks to be a bit over 8'. Everyone keeps saying if they haven't attacked anyone by now they won't. I don't know if I am buying that theory, this one sure looks pretty comfortable around humans. I am definitely a bit wary of paddling my kids to the outside there. Is it just a matter of time before someone gets chomped?? By the way, I'm sure these guys cruise up to Lowers regularly, and a group of guys out at Cottons saw a big one cruising the lineup this last Saturday. On another note, correct me if I am wrong, but the closest place with sea mammals(seals) would be at Seal rock, just outside of Riviera and a number of other very populated beach breaks in San Clemente. What do you think??
