Only a few miles from where I was paddling on Memorial Day...

The article said (which I figured) that the alligators can't really survive long in the salt, maybe a few days. Except if you live in Australia with those damn salties. Those things scare me more than sharks.

...on top of obnoxious snakes already in the lineup! Jeeez...

Those are crocs; salt water crocodiles are a thing. Crocs also tend to be more dangerous to people.

Yes, that's exactly what I meant.

Are you talking about water moccasins?

twas a joke, spirit
snake is surfspeak for a surfer who drops later than another surfer, but has technical right of way based on proximity to the peak
a snake may also paddle around another surfer who is in position and paddling in--so that the snake suddenly appears behind the surfer who took the drop initially
classic is for longboarders to always feel snaked--ha!
snaking requires decent late-drop skills, as well as ability to drop into an already broken wave
