On July 15, 2010 Westley White reported the following; “I was out this morning at around 6:00 AM closer to the S end of Pacifica about 30 – 40 yards from shore. The break was shallow and small. I was paddling out some more to get in better position when 300 – 400 yards away I saw a breach occur to the S end of Pacifica. The shark came out, twisted and landed on its side. I did not see if it was grabbing a seal. I saw the white belly, tail and the twist it made as it came crashing back down. It all happened so quickly. I immediately turned around and paddled to the shore. I got to the shore pretty fast and looked back out in that direction but did not see a resurface. I did see closer to the middle-N end 2 or 3 dolphins. I watched some more but didn't see anything else. I was more in disbelief than anything.”
