Damn, 66 and training for a triathlon. He probably worked very hard to be in good shape, especially at that age. And then he goes and gets killed by a friggin shark.

welp thats what sharks do.
they see something floating above them, they see what it is, and unfortunately the way they do that is by biting into it.
sharks dont like the taste of humans either, which is why the majority of shark attacks are just 1 bite and thats it. they taste the human and go away cause they don't like it.

FUCK THAT! man... this sucks.. Its going to be a hot weekend in SD too and I was thinking about going to the beach... That sure as fuck ain't happening now... I don't care what anyone says about it being safe... knowing there's a great white swimming around that killed someone is enough to keep me out of the water for a few years...
rename headline:
hardcore 66-year old man eaten by sharks while training for a triathlon
...no lasers were used.

I heard on the radio news that a drug smuggling boat was found off the coast of SD, with 80 bales of weed floating in the surrounding ocean... Maybe shark had the munchies?
Great Whites normally take a bite and then ask questions later. By that time its always too late.
I was paddling my kayak last year with a bunch of other kayakers when one of the guys got attacked by a great white shark. He was only about 100 ft from me when it happened too. Luckily the shark tasted the kayak and decided it didn't like it and let go. He clambered on and ran for the beach since his yak was taking on water.

YOU DON'T SWIM AT 7AM!!!!
why have people not learned this? Do not swim in waters known to have sharks at any time around dawn or dusk... these are feeding times. This has been known for a long while, but apparently not exactly spread as important information.
It's kind of funny in a sad way, that surfers and other athletes continue to train in the early morning, and well... as the years go by, every now and then someone is attacked. Now, it seems sharks don't exactly like the taste of humans, because after that first bite they turn away, unless you piss them off, then it becomes an attack to kill.
And while it sounds like sharks aren't normally seen in that area... any region in which sharks are known to be in poses that chance. Don't blame the shark for this, the water is NOT out territory, whether we want to accept that fact or not.
Sharks don't like humans, but our wet suits, surf boards, and kayaks, look a LOT like a big shark's prey to their not so good eyes. They sense life though, and want to get a taste of sweet sweet animal, though we aren't so sweet.
But needless to say, if I saw a creature that WAS a shark's natural prey in the same area, I wouldn't be swimming in the morning. Hell no. I'll take risks and LOVE the water, but I respect the water. When there is prey in the area, there is predator. The article hit a good point suggesting that the swimmer looked like prey with the wet suit, but it could have still been possible without the wet suit.
But now they are probably going to kill this shark if they find it. Thing just wanted a meal. Getting in the water, it should be an assumed risk that we are offering ourselves up. Look at any other water predators and how other animals treat the water. Sometimes getting in the water is necessary but there are risks...
