Ice & Blakes Score Epic Blacks During Barry White Concert

I don't need to elaborate too much on the fatal Great White attack today in Solana Beach, I am sure you all have heard about it or have read the news. If not, these are the two best articles I have seen about the incident.

Barry White #1
Barry White #2 (eyewitness account)

On a related note, Blakes and I were in the water this morning at Blacks well before 7am scoring chest to head high waves with a very limited crowd factor. It was probably the best conditions I have had in a month or so, and we both surfed great sessions. I am looking forward to surfing there again tomorrow.
Blacks Beach, for those of you don't know, is about 3 miles from the shark attack location and sits on top of one of the deepest underwater trenches in the east pacific. The waves are good at blacks due to the underwater canyon there. It is well known within the surf and shark communities that Great White Sharks breed in the deep waters off of Blacks Beach. Furthermore, It should be noted that the last fatal shark attack ON A SURFER was in 1959 in La Jolla just to the south of blacks.
