1. Thank you for posting this beautiful photo.

I miss him more with each passing day.

2. He's wearing a Sharkbanz - some sort of shark deterrent device

Strapped to his ankle.

3. I thought it was just a tether! Nice catch!

[Siwsan]

5. Tether on one leg. Band on the other

And a Secret Service agent, right behind him. Woe be to any shark that tries taking a nibble.

7. Nah, its just the leash to the board.

9. You don't see it in that photo but it's definitely there in other. I added a pic

Tether on his left ankle, Sharkbanz on his right. And, as a bonus - the Secret Service guy in a kayak. Well, I think it's a kayak. I'm not very water sports savvy.

13. Yup,

You can see it there for sure.

14. I was surprised that they aren't very expensive

I think the article said $89. Not a bad expenditure if you spend a lot of time surfing or diving. Well, if they actually work, that is.

4. THIS is Zen surfing

Don't complicate things

15. That was more my style, back in the day

My brother took up long board surfing. Now that he's back in Michigan, he wants to surf the Great Lakes.

16. Please come back PBO.

17. Once again I will say I love him, I love him, I love him.

How the hell did we manage to fall so far so fast?
