go in the water--he's a body surfer from way back--because of all the shark attacks off NC this summer.
He did, though, go in the water the last couple of days after the ocean 'calmed down'. It had been really

He survived! But he did say he was nervous all the time he was in the water.

jewelry (both attractive to sharks).

Have fun!
