I saw them in the distance swimming as a tandem side by side, so I decided to paddle outside of the breakline to get a closer look.

They turned

One went on either side of my surfboard. I was scared like a statue. Thses things are MASSIVE. And it is their turf (so to speak) If they wanted to toy with me, they would have had little in the way of a threat.

That is true as there have been so many "9-11" type attacks since then. Or was your point that you did want more attacks. Or are you with the crazy people that believe that 9-11 did not happen, it was just a conspiracy launched by Bush? The troops are helping protect our country. Please do not cheapen there efforts.

It would probably be best to take the Bush - 9/11 discussion to another thread and leave this one to the amazing pictures everyone is sharing. It will help if you avoid the political shots and appreciate the pictures.

As I said, let's keep this thread to the amazing pictures and move political discussions to another thread. I am sure the others would appreciate it as well. For the sake of the others, this is my last response to the political discussions on this thread. A would appreciate it if you could show the same courtesy. Thanks.
