Stingray Decoy

[exiled]

So waiting between sets yesterday I saw some thrashing in the water outside the break and paddled a little close to investigate. As I get a little closer the thrashing stops and three dark object dart towards me. Three juvenile eagle rays circle around me a couple times and then swim off. Kinda a fun moment, I wonder how much they where actually confused by the shape of the foil. Anyone else have something like this happen?

Initially the “thrashing” in the water would have me clenching in many areas because you never know what’s about to happen.
 But then seeing the Rays kook about with the foil, obviously saying “ Hey dude, wassup ?” Would have been fun.

Rays are so cool. We've had tons of em here in NJ this summer. A coupla days they were so thick on the inside I was like "Don't fall, dude!" Funny those rats you encountered were curious about you. Can't help but think they are relating to the foil wing.

Classic. They must all be like, “who are all these new blue and red punk rock rays?”

[SaMoSUP]

Don't sharks eat rays? So will a foil be mistaken for dinner?

There’s been some discussion on Seabreeze.

I’d assume it’s got to happen before long. Should be fun for whoever gets rocked off their board by a shark hitting their foil looking for dinner.
