My guess is the fatal shark attack in Solana Beach was due to the triathlete taking a piss in the ocean before his swim, which attracted the shark! � If an ocean predator can detect a small amount of blood in the water, imagine the scent of a�pool of mammal urine! �It may be why he was singled out of all the other swimmers, but we will never know. With over 40 years of surfing and ocean diving experience, I have learned to never pee while in the water! � Urinating also endangers others in the ocean nearby!
