Nope, no unnatural fear of sharks. I do however have a perfectly normal fear of them LOL Actually I rather like sharks and know that when I am in their habitat that I can very likely become dinner, so I am very careful.

Sharks rarely enter my consciousness. However, one of the two times I went windsurfing on the California coast at Waddell Creek, when the wind was backing off and I missed an outside jibe… I had some natural fear of a Great White. Waiting for enough wind to get a waterstart, treading water felt *way* too much like trolling.
Happily, their attention was properly elsewhere, just up the coast at Año Nuevo where there are much tastier prey than skinny humans in rubber suits.
