There are those who survive lightning strikes and those who survive other crashes or calamities and they almost always are left with scars or damage of other sorts but a good story to go with it. I would rate Jerry's actual shark bite as somewhere between surviving a parking ticket and hitting your thumb with a hammer. It interrupts an awesome day with a painful annoyance, but a few beers and f-bombs later and it's all smiles and shark stories. Don't get me wrong, I'm not intending to be sarcastic. In fact, a 5 footer can do some damage, so actually Jerrys a lucky guy and hopefully, that bite will leave a scar to go with the story. Cheers, Y'all. FYI, I love kite surfing.

"I would rate Jerry's actual shark bite as somewhere between surviving a parking ticket and hitting your thumb with a hammer." So true! The biggest scar in this instance was emotional, I think.
It's hard to keep your cool in the water after having a close encounter like this one.
As it turns out, Jerry is a shark biologist and he tells me that his scar resembles the coastline of North Carolina. At the time he was working on his dissertation and needed some momentum to finish. He considered it a sign. Thanks for reading.
