Sharks in Bolinas? Nah
So we go Surfing at Bolinas, quite often, my friend summed up his experience as so:
Summary:
today our missouri crew had another great day at our favorite surf spot BOLINAS, CA.
the swell was big and the waves were plentiful.
we've known it's very bad for shark attacks, we didn't know it made the list for WORLD's most SHARK INFESTED!
we usually think about the sharks on the drive up there - but once we
get our LIQUID COURAGE (a few pabst blue ribbons) the thought never
really enters our mind. - and if it does, the only thing that goes
through my head is "go for his eyes!"

This is great: the article mentions that this is the 4th most place to encounter sharks..in the world :)
Bolinas Beach, Northern California: Great whites
This tiny enclave, just north of San Francisco in western Marin County,
is notorious for its bohemian ways and its desire to keep the rest of
the world at bay (apparently townsfolk frequently remove the turn-off
sign on Route One). But that doesn’t keep the sharks away. Like its
neighbors Stinson Beach and the Point Reyes Seashore (including the
mouth of Tomales Bay), Bolinas is located smack dab in the middle of
the Red Triangle (a region marked by its high density of great white
sharks). And so it appears on our list as one of the coolest shark
spots to put your toes in the water.
