She'll be easy to spot. She'll be the one paddling in a circle.

You ought to be ashamed of yourself Sir! |
|
|
HA! You are going to hell, see you there! Honestly, I hope he gets the other arm. -HS |
|

Wow, what spirit in this kid. How many of us would be moping around feeling sorry for ourselves. With that kind of attitude she will do well with her life.
|

I demand this thread be locked !!!
It clearly violates the board COC regarding pics posted of womenz !!!! |
|

Well , what a dumb ass. Let it get her other arm. Sharks need to eat too, and if they are going to eat people,I would prefer they eat the dumb asses.
|

Have you ever seen a jock that wasn't? Same could be said about teenage girls in general. I thought ETH et. al. would be impressed by all the Christian refrences. |

Geezzz TexasEd...How cruel! I bet you steer for kittens on the road! Have to admit tho...that was one funny statement. I couldn't stop laughing. |
|
|
Texas Ed, that was pretty rude&crude.
But. I did laugh my ass off. One tough kid. |

Like, what kind of surfer would she be, like, if she didn't surf again?
Like, maybe she should have spent, like a little bit, loike, more time, in school instead of like, on her board. You think? |
|
Wow, I never would of thought so many people here would be so jealous of that girls lifestyle.
|
|
ROTFLMAO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! You are a sick sick man........... |
|
|
Some pretty cold responses here. Let's hope the same or similar never happens to your daughters.
|
|
I could guarantee you my 13 year old children would never have run the risk of having a shark bite them. Call me old fashion I never let them play in waters that had sharks in them. |
|

She wants to keep surfing?
Gee, what does it TAKE for her to get the idea that maybe you shouldn't be sharing the same ocean with sharks? If I lost one arm to a shark, you can bet your entire ass that I'd never be in the ocean again unless it was inside a CAGE. "Paddling in a circle"....You, sir, are a BAD man! Well done! And think of all the money she'll save on guitar lessons, and manicures, too! I guess she's not going to be driving a stick shift, either. Her typing speed just got cut in HALF...at least! Food chain consequences be damned, I'd be in favor of rendering all shark species that are known to be a danger to humans EXTINCT. CJ |

Congratulations. That has to do with these comments what again? |

Yeah--- real tough talk from someone in Ohio!!!! Tha gurl has bigger balls then most of you sad little men here....... |

Some of you guys are more paranoid about sharks than my MOM is. She thinks they climb up into boats to attack people like in Jaws.
I take it you avoid all salt water then? |

You mean, like, the ocean? MY GOD, don't let your children play there, 'they's is monstas in dere!" There is a risk associated with life in general. Will you not let your kid drive, ride a bike, play football,..., go shooting??? I am a bit biased here, as I'm a windsurfer, and have spent many weeks in the water off the North Shore of Maui. Yes, my risk of being snacked on by a shark is significantly higher than yours, but it's a risk worth taking. I think the joke was funny, and I suspect that girl would laugh as well. Kids like her who grow up doing what they love in an environment that looks like paradise, have completely different outlooks on life. They seem more adult than they are, but are more naive and far less 'worldly' than many younger kids. I kid you not, the islands work on my brain too, and I'm only there a couple weeks at a time. I can't imagine growing up on Kauai. It must be like hippie hard wiring... None the less, I feel sorry for her, as her career has been dashed. She'll have to grow up outside the circle she's lived in for years, and that will be VERY difficult on Kauai. This event is not any more tragic than a car wreck, or someone's kid getting cancer, etc... It's just that her story was a fairy tail, that was ended by 'monster'. Ergo, it's newsworthy. |

What a fucking joke! You know, this thread shows the true measure of a few members here. That girl got her fucking arm bitten off by a shark and is not afraid to get back into the water to what she loves to do. And all you guys can do is make jokes at her? WTF?
So should she not go back into the water? Why not? Are you saying that when a person gets hurt they should just give up? What about troops in battle? Once they are fired upon should they just take that as a message that there is bad people here and they should just go home? What a bunch of assholes. CH |

I don't know about dashing her career. Delayed perhaps. Google around a bit and see what they got coming down the line in the way of prosthetics. Five fingered robotic arms with the same DOFs as the real thing. Electrode implants in the brain that allow you to operate a robot like that by thinking. Sure they are still in the lab in monkey tests right now- but this girl is also only 13. By the time she is 25 who knows what they could fit her with if she can find the dollars. |

Erm, you sir are truly ignorant of the subject then. The vast majority of shark attacks occur in water depth of 3 feet, or less, and within 100 feet of shore. Heck the shark that is credited with the most attacks (the bull shark) even swims in brackish and fresh water. They have even caught bull sharks as far up the Mississippi river tributaries as the Ohio river. |

Talk about your misinterpretation of data...! The reason for that is because the vast majority of people in the ocean are in 3 feet of water or less and within 100 feet of shore! This is like that statistic that says most fatal car accidents occur with 11 miles of home...because most of the time, most people are within 11 miles of home. I think that a careful analysis of stats regarding swimmers and divers, where they are, how deep the water is, how far out they are, and how many of them are out there, when correlated against shark attack data adjusted for these factors would reveal that deep water attacks are probably as likely as shallow water attacks, if not more so. When working with statistics, it's important to take into account the conditions the statistics were gathered under. The picture is rarely complete. CJ |

That doesn't work! If you steer for them you will miss them every time. BigDozer66 |

Saw a bit of it on the news, I couldn't finish watching it, every 3 word was "like", drove me bananas. That's a good pic of her, she's fairly plain looking.
