On Monday we wrote about the theory some scientists have claiming global warming and overfishing could be increasing the number of incidents where sharks attack human beings.

Or perhaps there are just a lot of idiots roaming the beaches of California and Mexico pulling stunts like the guy you'll see in the video below. Welcome to the activity of shark surfing. The concept is simple. Step 1: Take a few big hunks of bloody meat and tie them to the end of a fishing line. Yes, we'll call it bait. Step two: Toss your surfboard over the side of a boat, followed by the baited line and then jump in after them. Step 3: Mount your surfboard and grab the other end of the fishing pole. Step 4: Wait for Jaws to find you (or rather the baited end of the line). Say a silent prayer that he grabs the proper end of the fishing line. Step 5: Hang on while you go on the ride of your life. Step 6: If you're on the beach observing this, ponder the great mystery of why natural selection hasn't taken care of yahoos like this guy.
